Whats the advantage of the saa7134 chip over the common BT878? (& 
relatives) They are cheap, common, and work well under linux.
I know the FlyVideo3000 has stereo - is that in the chip, or tuner?

The weak link seems to be in the tuner modules, which need a better signal 
than the tuners in real TVs or VCRs.
Mine works well on some channels, but has interference on ABC and SBS.
At least it does a proper 7MHz channel, unlike many TVs which show 
interference on channel 7, caused by the adjacent digital channel.
