Craig,
I use the A177 in my mediacentre, and it works fine. The first one I purchased was faulty, but it was replaced and has worked perfectly since (bit over 12 months I think). I have since added a Winfast DTV 1000s, so I have three tuners. I use the DTV 1000S for watching live TV and the A177 I reserve purely for Websheduler use, but they all work with MP no problems. In MP .0220 I had to do add the cards parameters to the card def file, but in RC1.0 it just does it! The A177 has two individual tuner inputs, which means you need to have an external splitter to feed both inputs from the antenna. I did it this way originally, but it is messy. Recently I ditched all that and just soldered a short link from the tuner input socket pad (on the pcb) to the pad on the other tuner socket. Now I have the Antenna feeding one A177 socket, then an external coax from the other A177 'input' (now an output) to feed to the DTV 1000S input socket.
