I've had a media center setup for a year or so (initially under MCE2005 and now vista), but whereas my TV has been able to decode Freeview with no problems, most TV tuner cards for PCs are so sensitive that without a perfect signal the media center loses reception resulting in a blue screen.

this is the third DVB tuner I've tried (both PCI and USB) and it works brilliantly - perfect, faultless reception and not a blue screen in sight (having a dual TV card rather than two singles also seems to help - possibly requiring less signal)?

Highly recommended, and with MS Vista it's brilliant if you want an integrated system for TV, Photos, Video and Music.

I purchased this card because I wanted to build my own Media centre, and it was on the MythTV compatibility list.
It works perfectly with MytThV on Linux, just needed a bit of fiddling to get the Low Noise Amplifiers switched on. The remote works fine too.
I use MythBuntu on my HTPC, a surprisingly good distro,easy to use and set up.
With the latest version of MythTV , I can even record multiple channels from one multiplex on each tuner. At the moment, I have it set up for four channels max per tuner.

I have two of these cards (making four tuners in total) on my MythTV machine. Having built a few MythTV-based media centres now, this is my far the best card I've tried, and is now very well supported under linux using the video4linux drivers (using the open source firmware out there; just search around for dvb-usb-dib0700-1.10.fw). The linux firmware can also enable the "poor quality signal booster" that's built on to the card.

The card tunes to channels notably faster than many of the other tuners I've tried too.

However, it's not without its faults:

As stated previously, the remote control is a bit rubbish (feels very cheap, and has a limited angle/range, more tricky to get working under Linux), so the USB MS MCE Remote is definitely a must-buy to go with this (very well supported on Linux).

In addition, it'd have been nice to see regular RF terrestrial supported and FM too, but with the DVB Radio channels on Freeview this may not be a gripe for you.

I've also found that the ariel socket on the back is a little feeble, the older of my cards has worked itself slightly loose and I'm a tad concerned it may disconnect from the board before too long.

Taking all of the above in to consideration, this is still far and above the best card for a Linux based PVR and very worthy of a 4/5 rating.
