I have a very odd problem, I have purchased two of the ASUS usb tuners mentioned below in Stephen's post. I got the first, and was so impressed I decided to get a second. This is where the problem starts...<BR>
<BR>
When I connect the second tuner the load average on the machine jumps to 1 even when all the daemons etc have been shut down and the machine is as idle as it's possible to get a linux box.<BR>
<BR>
I have VirtualBox running on the machine hosting a copy of ubuntu 9.04 server. With 1 tuner connected it's all good. Connect the second tuner and the ping times to this virtual machine jump from <1ms to 20-60ms (varying all over the place).<BR>
<BR>
Despite the problems above, the second tuner appears to work fine.<BR>
<BR>
The server is a Core 2 Duo E6600 2.4Ghz, 6GB Ram, running ubuntu 9.04 server 32 bit, kernel version 2.6.28-15-server-52.<BR>
<BR>
I'm using the 32bit version of ubuntu because I'm testing SageTV for linux which only ships with 32bit binaries. I have PAE enabled to get access to the full 6GB of ram.<BR>
<BR>
I'm unsure how to progress from here. <BR>
<BR>
Any ideas anyone? seen something similar?<BR>
<BR>
Should I log a bug with the ununtu people or try and track down the devs for the DVB driver and log a bug with them?<BR>
<BR>
Thanks for your thoughts,<BR>
<BR>

Now that Prime is on DVB-T, I am feeling the need for a third tuner to
prevent clashes. This one is very cheap and says it has Linux
support:

Has anyone used it? Any other suggestions?
