One (PBS, my fav) is nearly 70 air miles. This has been replaced by the 'pcHDTV-5500' card I believe, google for it. Mine is regular pci, the newer one may be pci-e. Mine also doesn't recognize the broadcast flag, I can't say for the newer one. Software in linux to support tv in general sucks. You must build the latest kaffeine to get it to sort of work with digital. Because I have more than one sound system here, mythtv has great video but no sound, and as near as I can tell, no facility to make sure its using the right mixer. tvtime, for NTSC, Just Works(TM) but the author has not to my knowledge, made any motions toward ATSC support. Unforch, here in the states, NTSC is deprecated by FCC edict. If you get the card, be sure and get the firmware that goes with it, available freely on their site. >Thanks >Richard > >-- >video4linux-list mailing list >Unsubscribe mailto:video4linux-list-request@redhat.com?subject=unsubscribe >https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/video4linux-list -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

With regards to Kaffeine, it depends on your distro. I added support for the ATSC channel scanning over a year ago now, so it has managed to make its way into the distros. And the new Kaffeine that is packaged with Ubuntu Karmic (1.0 pre1) works MUCH better with playback of high-bandwidth ATSC streams such as CBS-HD. So if you are using Kaffeine and get choppy playback on some channels, I would definitely recommend getting the latest version. > tvtime, for NTSC, Just Works(TM) but the author has not to my knowledge, made > any motions toward ATSC support. Unforch, here in the states, NTSC is > deprecated by FCC edict. It's worth noting that tvtime has no support for digital at all. It is only going to support raw analog video capture devices. Hence, there is no support forthcoming for DVB, ATSC, QAM, or even products that have an onboard MPEG encoder. Cheers, Devin -- Devin J.
