It has worked well besides some pixellation after a while (looks like bad reception) but after stopping the timeshift and starting it again it usually works ok. I'm looking to build a couple of mediaportal rigs for family members and wonder which tv tuner cards to use? There is quite a price difference between them (from cheap to expensive) and want to know what the real difference is, and whether its worth spending a lot of money or not? The only obvious difference I can see in the more expensive models that my DTV1000s doesn't have is dual tuner capabilities, besides that are there any other advantages to higher end cards for use exclusively in MP? Do they offer better better signal quality in poorer reception areas?</blockquote>
