The drive runs under Linux (which is not common with DVB-C) with me for a long time so stable that I bought here a precaution (lightning damage or something) a second in reserve. The computer with the drive running 24 7 days I can program it mobile via the web, and it produces flawless photographs I well get on DVD for example. (There is an almost the same name, who is black, which probably does not run on Linux, therefore, who has Linux, access, while silver is available!) Installation under Debian problemarm (the initial installation of the station list is funny, but can for the Stick nix, which is a Linux problem). HD I have not done, but I also do not need, for me there can not be any better solution.
