The downside is that there seems to be a little crosstalk between the
tuners, so under the wrong signal conditions, you can get ghosts of
what is on the other tuner showing up.  You also want one of the older
versions with the Philips tuner cans.  The later (Samsung?) tuners are
crap.  I had to send a later one I bought back as it was giving awful
picture quality, but fortunately I found an older one going on
TradeMe.
