Oh, I think the tuner part is fine. Since it is a chip based tuner, I think it's pretty programmable. I also never really had any problems running it in Windows either. I'm just waiting for the programming part to work a little better. I wish I had more time to play with the code and all that. I just picked up the IO Magic PVR that was on sale at CompUSA. It has one of the old type tuners in a shielded box. The capture part is bt878 though so I don't expect any problems there. I may get a chance to play with it tonight. I'll let you know.
