Updates on above threads:

I have not seen it miss a channel change in over a month.

Once it went to 480p and I had to manually set it back to 1080i,
but I have not had a sound sync problem either.

The patches that make the HDPVR better still break multirec
for DVB type cards.

I have not run two at at time, so can't help there. I have not used
the HDPVR blasters either, so can't help there. One problem I do have
is if someone uses the dish remotes where the IR receiver for Myth
can see during live TV you can get double channel changes. I have
not figured out how to set LIRC to only use a set of remote codes
for transmit and ignore them for receive.

Best of luck.
