The Mega Sky 580 overall works fine, but it doesn't like a very strong 
signal - if you have a booster, try to weaken it a bit.

I also have a Afatech AF9005, VT doesn't work yet (not sure what that is 
but wiki says so), but it doesn't have a problem with strong signals. 
Scanning with Kaffeine was also problematic last time I tried, but if 
you don't use Kaffeine it should work fine.
