I could not get the software to work but it is fine with media center 2005
Customer Review: A great card for Linux PVRs
I have two of these cards (making four tuners in total) on my MythTV machine. Having built a few MythTV-based media centres now, this is my far the best card I’ve tried, and is now very well supported under linux using the video4linux drivers (using the open source firmware out there; just search around for dvb-usb-dib0700-1.10.fw). The linux firmware can also enable the “poor quality signal booster” that’s built on to the card. The card tunes to channels notably faster than many of the other tuners I’ve tried too. However, it’s not without its faults: As stated previously, the remote control is a bit rubbish (feels very cheap, and has a limited angle/range, more tricky to get working under Linux), so the USB MS MCE Remote is definitely a must-buy to go with this (very well supported on Linux). In addition, it’d have been nice to see regular RF terrestrial supported and FM too, but with the DVB Radio channels on Freeview this may not be a gripe for you. I’ve also found that the ariel socket on the back is a little feeble, the older of my cards has worked itself slightly loose and I’m a tad concerned it may disconnect from the board before too long. Taking all of the above in to consideration, this is still far and above the best card for a Linux based PVR and very worthy of a 4/5 rating.

Customer Review: Superb
I brought this tv to use in a bedroom with a ps3 I have to say that it is fantastic. The picture quality is brilliant and i see no problem with the sound as other reviewers are saying. It really is not worth the extra money for a sony as this tv is as good or if not better. The sound and picture settings are very easy to use and Blu-ray films are brilliant on it. Very strongly recommended
Customer Review: great value for money
Have to say I wasnt expecting that much from this initially but Im very impressed so far. Even with a cheap indoor aerial I bought more than 10 years ago it works great and the freeview is really good. So easy to set-up and install (it does everytthing for you more to be honest) and it looks great with its glass stand. All in all definately the Tv for watching movies and sports. Philips get a thumbs up from me!
