Status

Confirmed working out of the box for a Core/Hybrid with LMCE 0710 (DVD Install). Operating 1080p UI2 no problems (some tearing in UI2 with Blending however this is GPU related not MOBO).

Tested config is: Core 2 Duo 8200, Asus P5k PRO Motherboard, Nvidia PCIe 7300 GPU, 2GB Corsair PC6400, DVB-T Dvico Fusion Dual Digital 2 (PCI), Samsung 46" M8 LCD, LinuxMCE 710 RC2 Hybrid

Note: I have tried this setup with 2 PCI TV Cards (Avermedia 777 DVB-T and DVB-T Dvico Fusion Dual Digital 2). Both work under Mythbuntu but appear to have quality issues with my setup. May or may not be related to the ASUS and LMCE.
