[QUOTE="sylva, post: 476473, member: 95826"] Did you try OTA? Some people say sensitivity is not comparable to Hauppauge's 2250, some others say it's great. Everyone says different things, so one can hardly get a real glance into the card's virtues/lackings. I for one, live in a high rise (16 stories, where the building is one of the tallest in the area and there are no elevations to obstruct microwaves. Management just had the collective roof antenna refurbished for HD reception, so there [I]should[/I] be no sensitivity issues really. As far as Linux drivers, I had an exchange with Felix Kolotinsky (Duet product mgr.) who said they're thinking about the drivers but could not set an approximate release date even for a beta version. Well, I'll let you know about my experience. I'd rather that the card would function on XP 64 SP2 since I got 8 Gigs of RAM. Someone on Newegg's review pages says he managed to work it with this OS with the newest of Avermedia's beta Madia Center. Hope this is true.
