I picked one of these up from my local CompUsa today at lunchtime (got 
the last one). Went down after supper tonight and installed it in my 
backend system and had it working within 30 minutes or so. Had to add a 
line to modules.conf for the second card and rejigger my settings in 
mythtvsetup, but all seems to be working now and I have successfully 
recorded and watched live TV with both tuners. So far, so good...
