For whatever it is worth - I run 2 HVR-2250's and have been happy with the
results. The driver/kernel support was in flux for awhile, but with the new
.32 kernel, support was built in which made setup a lot easier.
As far as reception - that hasn't been an issue for me. I went to antenna's
web and found out where the signals were coming from and pointed my antennas
in that direction.
