I have an excellent experience with old S460, it's the most stable DVB-S2 card I ever had. I want to build a 5 card sat. back-end (most PCI slots I found on any motherboard) and I'm looking for other cx88 alternatives from TeVii. V4L sources suggest the new S464 is basically the same HW, except for the new M88DS3000 demodulator. I think you're probably even better person to ask about their performance in Linux. Does S464 work without issues (voltage, 22kHz, DiSEqC, signal monitoring, S2)? Old S460 never froze on me, it's 100% stable, quick to lock, no reboots required and the sensitivity was OK - you see why I'm excited about the new S464. Can you tell me what's new and better about S464? Is it ready for prime time in Linux? BTW, I must comment on your company's attitude towards Linux - proper driver sources, official support, that's not what we're used to from other manufacturers. Well done! Best wishes, -- David Kubicek
