We have a dual input tuner at Watkins which, with the exception of the local ABC station, works perfectly. We reboot the iMac in our theater into Win7 and use Media Center. (Imagine the joy of watching daytime soap operas on a 26' screen!).
I have a similar unit at home, using Elgato EyeTV software on my Mac, pulls in all channels except for Gibson's, and I understand that's an impulse noise issue on TV channel 5. Good units.
