I have just gone to a dual boot win7 and Linux Mint17 Mate 圆4. Although a 'daisy chain' of coax connections antenna/PC/STB/TV worked perfectly well, rather than have them all online permanently I have also bought a separate 4-way coax amplifier so that each device only needs to be 'powered up' if in use , After handling difficulties with my mini presenter keyboard/touch pad combo I've bought a Logitech wireless mouse and can now easily control the whole arrangement, TV, Set Top Box and PC.

It's also very convenient to be able to switch to a Firefox browser window for catch up TV and to use Mozilla Thunderbird for e-mail. Me-TV deals perfectly well with multiple recordings via a single one of the TBS6280 tuners, providing the programs are from the same mux, which as I most frequently want to record the UK Freeview channels BBC1, BBC2 and BBC4 simultaneously, it's fine. Recording programs is done via me-tv and the recorded programs sound & visual quality is great, played back by vlc, but I feel that me-tv live TV via the gnome player is not as good as that of vlc. Live TV is most easily accessed by a 'vlc nf' command on the terminal command line and the picture is good, and sound through the HDMI lead is fine to my TV, with changing channels done through the vlc playlist. After quite a bit of messing around with loading Linux Mint 16 Mate onto my new AMD quad core PC I have managed to make it operational with the v140210 TBS6280 driver.
