AS you can see there is a lot of us that are using these cards.

I am not sure of the benifits of the PLUS card over the LITE card, but most
DVB cards are the same under linux (or soi have read). I started with one
card, then brought another card. all i did to install it was, shutdown the
backend, plug in the card, start the backend and use setup to assign the
output etc. really easy.

THe wife wants a third card now. Cool.
