So there are other ATSC and QAM cards that work? That would have been my plan. To buy a analog cable card, then expand one at a time as needed. But I did not see any other cards that seemed to be clearly supported. I'm using LVM now with ext3 on PATA RAID. 160Gb. Once I get everything going, I'll probably jump up on the HD size. It would be nice to have my collection on the HDD so I can watch it anytime from any of my TVs. Thats my real objective. Not sure how to get around the encryption or if I need to!? I don't plan to burn them. I wish I could copy my DVDs. I loose some sometimes to my son. I really need my fair use back... > _______________________________________________ > ivtv-users mailing list > [email protected] > http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-users
