This card, outside of very poor reception, has reached a pretty good level of stability, thanks to the great people on this list. As you can read in the recent posts, it appears that only small tweaks are needed here and there. Dual tuners are great, and with MythTV supporting the recording of multiple channels inside a single mux (i.e. more than 2 recordings at the same time if the channels are sharing muxes), in trunk, things are even better.
