If you don't mind spending a little more I can highly recommend the
Nebula DigiTV.

If only there was a place you could go, say a network of computers
linked together where you could search for something and find an answer.

Oh, there is...

I'm using the HAUPPAUGE - WinTV NOVA-T 500. PCWorld for £59.99 has dual
DVB tuners and now Vista Compatible out of the box, as was mine.

Works perfectly with Media Centre.

If anyone knows how to get Media centre to scan more than the 6
predefined Mux's please let me know!

Have they resolved the issue with nVidia cards yet?
There was much wailing and gnashing of teeth when 3.7.10 beta first came
out.

This thread gives a flavour of the issues:

( My nebula card is not installed in my Vista machine at the moment, so I
can't comment.. )

I don't know (and can't try as I've given up on MCE) but having fiddled
with it a bit last year I wondered what happens if you edit the registry
to have *2* keys

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\TV System
Services\TVAutoTune\TS44-0] and
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\TV System
Services\TVAutoTune\TS353-0] (or whatever it is for t'other set of
Muxes)

Usual warnings of course about editing registry and taking backup first;
and - more important - usual disclaimer: if it breaks something please
do not blame/break me.

I don't know any that include file editing software. However where's a fair bit
of free stuff available from www.doom9.org.

Robin, I just never seem to have enough time to get it going properly.
I'm over here in Portadown, Northern Ireland. I can get the Irish DTT
service fine on all DVB TV's in the house but need to get it working on
MCE. I understand that there will be no programme guide for the Irish
channels, thats not an issue for me.
