Not that it really counts, but you have my vote.  I have been using it 
with a Mitsu SR-HD5 on DirecTV recording both high-def and standard-def 
for months.  I even did some work to get it compiling on trunk, before 
Alan had a chance to work on it.  For the past 8 months or so it has 
been my primary recorder on DirecTV with no failures.  As of two days 
ago I applied patch 17 to svn trunk 19466 and have made 13 recordings 
since then (mostly SD with a couple of HD).  So the patch still applies 
and works (I think I had a minor fixup in configure because of the 
opengl_video addition).

Thanks,
David George
