I take that in the way intended (I think :S) but if you really don`t know anything (or really don`t want to know) then go with something off the shelf. I like the Xtreamer stuff if that is the way you want to go, Sidewinder 4 http://www.xtreamer.net/SideWinder4 looks good and is cheap (currently cheaper with the extra DVB-T2 tuner than without - interesting marketing they have going on)
