[mythtv-users] Has anyone on the list used the TBS 5220 USB DVB-T2 tuner?

[Another Sillyname]

Sorry Stephen I should have been clearer......

I meant will the hardware cope with it, I realise the software
actually does the demuxing of the complete signal stream.....but
sometimes if the hardware is close to tolerance...or gets heated it
won't transmit the whole stream cleanly and you sometimes only see it
if trying to record more then one stream.

Have you played with that unit though?
