What hardware do you use and recommend? Please post your links and comments here to avoid multiple postings on the same subject
There are many options available out there - I have used the technotrend 2300 and the firedtv myself so I can't comment on the quality of and of the others
FIREDTV - C

These are expensive but have the CI slot built in and support BDA. Also has MCE and Vista - you will need a firewire card for this one too. Looks smart and I've not had any trouble with it even though the site says its not UK Cable compatible.
TECHNOTREND (premium & budget)

I wouldn't recommend the 2300 premium - get the budget 1500 instead as it supports BDA, however these are as out of stock at the moment. You will be limited by what software you can use with the 2300 - no MCE or mediaportal support AFAIK and I'm not sure there is vista support either
