I got one of these to play with for Xmas :-). Have you had any success
using it in dual mode? I've found that if I don't enable dual mode it
work very well as soon as I enable dual mode the driver seems to crash
each time I use the second tuner which causes mythbackend to stop
responding.

Interested to hear of any success reports. Also anyone got the remote to
work yet?
