my advice is to avoid usb sticks like the plague: those silicon

Better use a tin-can tuner that is present in many
older-generations PCI cards (my Technisat Airstar 2 is perfect) or
in some older USB cards (like the Hauppauge Nova-T 500)


I forgot to add another nice feature of dvb usb sticks: very often
they overheat after little time of usage, and at that point they begin
to lose the lock on the frequency and to corrupt data
