TBS5520SE is a multi-standard external TV tuner with USB2.0 interface, it is capable of receiving digital TV channels of multiple standards: DVB-S2X/S2/S/T2/T/C2/C/ISDB-T. Through the USB interface, you can easily plug the TBS5520SE Universal TV Tuner to your desktop or laptop PC, with appropriate signal cable connected and software installed, it’s convenient to switch among different standards, and enjoy more TV channels than using just one single TV standard.

Despite being a satellite-enabled USB device, it is solely USB-powered. Though convenient, this might be insufficient, especially with any type of DiSEqC hardware connected. After a few minutes, you might encounter the following issues, especially for 13V/14V operation (vertical polarization):

Some LNBs might unintentionally switch to high band, probably due to noise from the voltage converter.
DiSEqC switches might not react to commands.

The device's tuner is very fast if a lock can be established (sufficient SNR), but extremely slow to notice if there is an insufficient or no signal. DiSEqC rotors do work, but move very slowly, even in horizontal polarization (18V).
