It works out of the box in Gutsy.  Pre-gutsy you needed to manually feed a card number while loading the kernel module, but it still worked fine. I'm currently running mine in a Mythbuntu machine (MythTV / XFCE4 / Xubuntu mish-mash project) as a homebrew PVR.  MythTV's web interface makes it trivial to schedule recordings (MythTV can pull TV schedules from the EIT broadcast over DVB-T).  Recorded shows can be transcoded (XVid is my codec of choice) and copied off to other machines in the house with ease.  Very cool little project. I'll be buying another identical card shortly, as the family are starting to see how easy the MythTV box is to use, and the inevitable is occurring: people want to record multiple channels at once, which means needing another card. :) -Dan</blockquote><div> Hey,  Dual tuner cards are now only ~$100[1], I think if I were to buy another it'd be just as easy to get one of these.  Interesting note: A mate who has one noted that his PCI card is  actually detected as a USB hub with the two tuner modules hanging off it. cheers, Owen.
