Good point. If someone has troubles getting ivtv to work, which is, in my opinion, a very mature set of drivers, they will have nightmares trying to get an HDTV card to work. I have a pcHDTV-3000 card and while it does appear to work pretty well now that the drivers are included in the kernel, it took a long time to get there. I spent 4 months with the card in a drawer until the drivers got to a usable point. And now that the 3000 has recently been replaced with the 5500, expect at least as many problems. No one has a 5500 up and running yet according to their forums, and the company has pretty much stopped communicating with their customers. Keith C > > Marc E. wrote: >> Whatever.
