I got the same dvb-c card and I also got it from usa-x.
Currently my problems is that I get realy bad reception on some channels,
the weird part is that the bad channels change when I switch computer.
The card works perfectly with windows and the bundled software, it's slow
but work.

I haven't found any good solution to my problems so far.

The remote controller I got with my card was a serial port type and the
remote was one of those universal remotes, "Kingman 12 in 1 Universal
remotecontroller"
The remote smelled funny when I got it.

I expected some kind of remote that was connected to the dvb card directly,
but I guess this solution with a serial port remote is more flexibel. Any
remote works, it's just a matter of learning lirc how to handle it (wasn't
hard)
