This card has the potential to be fantastic - 2 tuners in a single PCI slot.

Unfortunately, due to some kernel driver problems, it experiences intermittent USB disconnections. This requires a restart of the MythTV backend, or sometimes a reboot of the whole system. The remote control is currently unsupported.

Setup is a pain on anything other than MythDora (and even then it's easy to get it wrong), requiring quite a bit of hacking to make it work. Some useful instructions can be googled easily though.

The USB disconnect issue is supposed to be fixed with kernel 2.6.21. Not seen anything with regard to the remote control support.
