If you go with 7738 (which I've been running on my "g/f approved" system) I've 
had an issue with my DVB card in changing channels from the channel guide, so 
show the guide, but don't use it to change channels, or test it first to see 
if this happens for you. Just a word of warning.

Other than that, 7738 has been working quite well for me.

Best wishes for your demo!
