I am very happy with my card. I had to do the channel search by using that advanced function, so my channels are not in the right order, so I had to go through and name all my channels. The only channel missing is 2, but I suspect it has to with channel 1 for Charter being some sort of portal channel for shopping and ppv that is encrypted. Some channels do look better than others, for example Comedy Central has a couple of lines on the screen that I can't tune away, but NBC and TNT or sharp and bright as my 27incher. Now, the recording quality at mpeg2 was 1 hour show @ 2gigs. Played back looked just like what I viewed on my computer. When I used TV-out on my 9700Pro, on the tv, you couldn't tell the difference at all. My wife was quite surprised. I'm going to start working on editing out the commercials next.
Very happy with this buy, I even bought a 120gig drive for all my shows.
