Hmmm, rather excitingly, they have a mini PCIe card and my motherboard has a slot for 
one of these. So, I could have an eSATA card in main PCIe and 2x dual tuner cards 
connected to mini PCIe.

it’s the hwe kernel that brings T292 drivers and it seems better USB drivers.

I guess I get this if I download the latest and greatest mythbuntu?

We have a very strong signal. It was good even before the signal went up 15x as part of 
the switch over, and is now even better. However, I am wanting to move the backend 
further down the splitter chain and on another 30m of CT100, so let's see.
