Well, it might be a little early to answer these questions thoroughly since the very first cards reached the end-users yesterday, but the first comments sound quite promising. According to this post[1] by "spitzb", the card seems to work quite well. Here's a brief translation: "There are no artifacts while zapping around. The picture turns black, returns and that's it. On 1080i channels there is sometimes a still picture for 0.5 seconds, but afterwards the picture gets fine again immediately. Zapping intervals are around 1-2s from HD to HD and below 1s from HD/SD to SD channels. Moving fast forward and backwards in recordings is working flawlessly including moving the cut-marks, sometimes there are a few block artifacts. All in all it feels 'rock stable'. The picture is upscaled to 1080i and looks much better than on eHD (Reel)." Hope this helps.
