I also had some setup issues just because I have three HD5500s in one
FE/BE - I needed to pass a kernel parameter to reserve enough memory for
three copies of the dvb drivers - but since then the tuners have been
completely transparent and lovely in ATSC operation. I have no other ATSC
card experience, just an HTL-HD and HR10-250.
