Purchased this after deciding I needed to add a digital tuner to my Vista Media Center, so I could record high definition clear-QAM content from my cable company (my old hybrid tuner only allowed one or the other, and I'd been using it for analog).
It's three key features (a) dual simultaneous tuners (i.e. watch two tuners at once), (b) built-in network ability (i.e. share tuners across network) and (c) channel mapping in Vista to add QAM support to Vista and wide support for other DVR software were all key factors in my decision to purchase.
I've been very happy with it so far.
As for the 86 channel limit, I believe that's a Vista or analog issue, caused by trying to map digital channels to analog, which has limitations. I'm not sure it holds true in Win7, which has native QAM support.
I have used it with Win7 and that version of Media Center and it seems to work fine.
You'll need to install drivers on each machine that will use the tuners.
I love this item!

I have used this product for six months or so. Now that my cable company upgraded the digital channel offerings this is a wonderful product. I use with Beyond TV software - digital channels are a bit cumbersome to set up but I think as the on line TV guides get better this will get easier. Really cool to stream cable on to my home network.

after dealing with a bad ethernet cable on my end, the HDhr unit worked great. Mostly i like how any 2 computers on our network can access the 2 tuners and alot easier than installing a tuner card.
