Thanks for sharing your experiences. I'm for sorting out the problems with the GATOS drivers. From my experience there are many weaknesses with those drivers, and I would love to see something better that actually works all the time. I'd rather not have to use another PCI slot just for a tuner card when I can have an all-in-one solution to save space in my PC.
