Hi Dave, 

I dont actually have this card yet - just thinking of buying. Dont want
to get my hands burnt. I will be running ubuntu intrepid 8.10 with a
month or so old build of mythtv from svn 0.21

I dont need the extra inputs - I just quite like ordering from play.com
the price didn't seem that bad either - I've seen some dvb-S cards at
the £100 mark.
