Colossus 2 and SageTV

Has anyone mustered up the strength and $$$ to go grab a colossus 2 and try it out with SageTV? I'm interested in moving back to SageTV and hoping someone else has taken the plunge.

2) Get Colossus cards and either use...

Modern DirecTV STBs have ethernet ports on them and you can use that to tune the channels. I've been doing this (although not on the H-25) for about 1 year now without a problem.

Anyhow, I we're all happy ;)
