Glad to hear it's working for you. If you're using composite, then you will not see the benefits of the tuning performance, but you *will* see the power management benefits. This means the tuner chip won't be enabled when you're not watching TV, which will result in not causing as much drain on your battery (if you have a laptop) and the device will be much cooler. I am still looking for strategies in the code so that the tuner is not enabled when capturing on composite or s-video (which will reduce power consumption further), but the code changes are non-trivial.
