Don't buy this card if you want to use it in a permanent (i.e. vdr) setup where your computer is on 24/7. You will notice disconnects every now an then rendering the device rather useless...
And yes this still happens with *any* kernel version (2.6.20 - 21.5) + even the experimental mercurial tree out there...

Well our experience with the T500 differs to yours. We have multiple T500's in multiple 'permanent' vdr installations that are running 24/7. We don't see disconnects under Kubuntu 7.04.
The only area where I can say we have had some issues with the T500 is related to its ability to hold onto a signal in some situations. It seems more sensitive to transmission quality/strength than other cards or external usb DVB devices we have tested. But in our experience these have been relatively minor issues.
All I can say is that is our experience.
