I can't speak for the other participants of this thread, but I consider myself an 'old hand' of vdr having started fiddling with this great piece of software since version 1.0 (2002) and I am used to what for users of a full featured dvb-s card is normal: rock solid stability, excellent video quality, no dropped frames whatsoever, up to the bandwidth limit of the card (about 20Mbit/s), great zapping time, time shifting as the norm, multiple card installations without conflicts and so on. The only thing the FF card won't do is play/replay HD content and while this is still not so important at the moment (at least in Italy) since we're used to such a great level of quality it will be hard to obtain the same results with a new generation solution. The need for time in such a discovery process, at least on my part, is fully understood, I only wish that sometimes the guys from Reel would provide a little more documentation (in english) about how they do some things in the avantgarde, but this is probably what is actually giving the avantgarde the edge over a normal vdr install, so I won't complain.
