I bought 2 of them, replacing my pchdtv card. I'm 25 miles (at least) from the tower using the Vineguard amplified antenna received with my voom service (still using the receiver for OTA, so great).
They are rev 0.2 but works great for me (maybe better than my pcHDTV card). Although they are ackward to install, I had to recompile kernel 2.6.12 with the current dvb patches available on linuxtv.org. Then inserts all the transponders information, scan all the channel, remove the one I don't want, rename the channel, change the xmltvid (remove the checkmark) and then run mythfilldatabase. I could document the process, but would have to do it again (which I will since my other system is screwed from atrpms and libselinux problems). If that could helpful for some people, I'll do. I can now record 2 channels at once, everything is great to date.
