Oops. It doesn't. Sorry, I got the wrong "improvements" thread. Devin is working on the mxl5005s and s5h1409 modules to get a 3 dB improvement in QAM (North American cable) reception characteristics for the HVR-1600. 3 dB ain't much (I can talk Southern too!) but may matter to people who have cable reception that's on the margin. My personal opinion, is that is is always better to have tuning components outside of the PC case (like a USB device) versus inside the PC case (like a PCI device) from a noise or Electromagnetic Interference perspective. The drawback is that the USB bus bandwidth limits how much a USB device can provide. Again, sorry for my confusing reply earlier.
