I have it and it works great. Very clear picture, get SD & HD over the air and very crisp pictures from my (non-HD) satellite dish.

How is the recording quality of this thing? Is it pretty resource intensive?

It comes with a POS antenna, so unless you live less than 15 miles from the broadcasting tower, you're going to get a jittery picture.

The 950Q which adds QAM support is due out in April.

The antenna is not that great and work ok for most stations. This depends on how far you are from the tv stations.
The quality is great. I use it with mythtv in a ubuntu feisty box. The cpu kicks up from idle significantly when the mythtv is playing. I got dual core so this won't tank other programs competing with mythtv.
