Hi
I have a Asus Pundit and a Hauppauge DVB-C since April 03 and all work fine.
(A friend have the same since Jully 03)
The computer is online 24h/24h and the temperature of the CPU and the
Motherboard are ok.
I have remove the CPU headsink to place the DVB-c.
So the Asus Pundit works very nice for VDR and DVB-c

Francois
