Yes (and the only thing that kills it is the pvr-350 locks up under
fast-forward when also recording sometimes).
Currently:
11:55pm up 7 days 2:35, 3 users, load average: 0.93, 0.77, 0.42
Used fairly heavily used (min 2 hours watched per day, about 3-4hours
recorded per day)
Not had any recording problems (touches wood franticly) AFAIR with the
current setup.
Uptime is only 7days atm cos I rebooted it the other week to nick the dvd
drive. :-)

Pundit-R, dunno the chipset, 3GHz/800MHz P4 (OTT for what I'm using it for,
considering downgrading to run cooler)

2.6.11-rc2-bk3-20050125153357-default (Kernel of the day, take a guess when
I built it ;-) )
Under SuSE 9.1, that kernel was needed for the dvb support.
