I've probably bought 5 SDHC cards for this thing, tested 2 SDHC cards that I've had for other toys and only 2 have worked fairly reliably which are an 8 GB PNY (same one you've mentioned before) and an old 16 GB Adata, although the Adata failed once during a test, so I am leery of it. I even bought a 32 GB version of the PNY that failed when testing.
But good news so far, I have that 32 GB PNY recording right now (at 24/96), and it has been chugging along for a couple hr right now, knock on wood. Previously, when a card fails, it would do so within the first hour. I'll let it go for overnight and report back. I may test it out a few times before I'm fully confident.
Looks like a new firmware was released last month, and is supposed to increase compatibility with SD cards. It's a whole number upgrade up to v2.03, but the only thing they state they changed is "Expanded SD card compatibility"
Here is a user review of the new FW:

I'll probably install it tonight and report back.
Thanks Ted - I'm not having any card problems and have 4 shows in the next two weeks. I'll wait to do the upgrade don't want to risk introducing a problem just before a run of shows.
