Hi Ross,

I have one of these in my PC at home, works ok, both DVB-S and DVB-T,
although scanning for channels doesn't work out of the box...
I made a write-up on my blog about the installation process of updated

It seems a little confusing, but worked in the end...

I'm running myth 0.23 and Mythbuntu 10.04

Cheers,
  Craig
