I just built up my new master backend with this motherboard.  Everything
works great, other that I can't get SD audio to work at 32000.  Recordings
and live tv work fine on my frontend box, just on the backend they don't.
My tuners are all hybrids and the SD portion is limited to 32000 for the
audio.  Not a huge deal.

Firewire worked out of the box as well (I use mythdora).
