As best as I can tell, if the software supports Burnproof, then the software and the Hardware will work together to eliminate Buffer Under Run problems. In the case of ExacLink and Smartburn, the hardware would be the only thing protecting you.
My opinion is to buy the LG, and test it out. You should have 30 days to return it. Put it through the paces. All the different technologies claim to do the same thing, so for a $130 you can prove this to be true, or return it, and get one that supports another technology. Concerning the LG hardware, it is the Oak OTI-9797 guts, and Oak is a desent company.... Toss the over abundance of useless information that I have posted aside, and go with this. Sorry to confuse things! Stepping Down from my soap box...
