I sometimes have issues when switching inputs in LiveTV, but no problems for 
recordings.  I have a couple PVR-150's so I don't use the NTSC tuners on the 
Kworld cards often, but every time I've needed them, they worked fine.  I 
also see ticket 2822 with a reference to switching between analog and 
digital and one changeset committed a week ago.  I haven't updated for 2 
weeks so maybe that patch will help.  And for reference I am using QAM.

As for distros I strongly recommend Arch.  It's extremely lean and fast, 
always current and has a great selection of packages.  FC 6 and Ubuntu are 
bloated in comparison.  Gentoo is nice, but I got tired of constantly 
compiling.
