I've had some issues when using it with two tuners.
Each tuner would use different color settings, and ChrisTV doesn't remember each card's settings, so I'd have to change multiple options when switching between two tuners. Other than that (and an annoying splash screen and possibly confusing options), this program is near-perfect.
I used DScaler for years before finding ChrisTV.
ChrisTV will let you use Overlay, VMR7, and VMR9, which makes it Vista friendly.
DScaler is Overlay only, making it very Vista un-friendly. There are Direct3D hacks and betas for DScaler, but those are pretty buggy.
