comparison to Haupauge?

ATI continues to be usless under Linux unless you have a tuner card still supported by Gatos/xawtv and X.org's included Gatos drivers ain't cutting it. The novelty of booting to Windows any time I want to watch tv while working and watching ATI's piss poor DVR function crash has warn off. My machine's going with a new, Linux functional, tv tuner/gpu brand.

How does Haupauge tuner boards stack up against the pcHDTV?

Has anyone installed a Haupauge recently; under which Linux; easy/issues?

pcHDTV is completely open, anyone know how open Haupauge is or do the open source project drivers "just work" like they should?

As an unrelated question; what's the prefered remote to install under Linux these days (I'm also planning a Tivonix of some sort for the family room). Again, ATI's radio remote is slick unless your not booted to Windows.
