"Best of current crop...needs work."
Pros: Easy setup with MCE, good functionality
Cons: Audio problems sometime, poor picture quality.
Summary: Picture quality is a little mushy and color is washed out. It was a snap to install and setup in Windows MCE. You can only use the 2 tuner coax inputs OR the 2 AV inputs (not all 4 at once, at least with MCE). I find the audio on some channels and some recordings is heinously messed up once in awhile (5%)... new drivers did not help. Dual tuner is a must have for PVR use.
I wanted a dual tuner HD tuner, but given state of cable HD (i.e. no cable card support yet) I opted for standard tuner card -- this seemed to be the best of the current crop (late 2005), overall it is high quality for the price. Looking forward to the next generation, however.
