Just another "It works great for me" response:  I have a single backend
with 2 HD-5500 tuners and a PVR-500.  It is a recent build (I started at
version 0.19, with a linux kernel at 2.6.18), and I've never had any
problems with the cards.  I think the compatibility problems are pretty
well understood and documented now.

As for HD PCI cards, the other one I've heard good things about is the
Air2PC card.  Good luck with whatever you choose - I hope you enjoy Myth as
much as I do!
