Yeah probably.  That's an old ivtv legacy strategy that I'm not even sure made 
sense then.

Anyway, Toshiba has indicated that they wouldn't/couldn't  provide information 
for me to add support for the digital side of their cards.  The best I can do 
is add support for the analog side of their cards having the end user 
iteratively experiment.

I don't have time for that.  A supported USB Analog/DVB-T hybrid unit is 
probably a better solution for TV on a laptop under linux, than toshiba's card.

Regards,
Andy
