Thank you for that clarification, yet I don't understand how ivtv will tap
into that network stream. I'm using ivtv as a Linux tool to feed the
PVR-500MCE inputs to such things as mplayer and mythtv from a VHS S-Video or
Composite input, probaly very primitive usage by most of all y'all's
standards (look at me talk Southern!).

I'm hoping to acquire an ATSC digital capture device to record the PBS
station that is indicated in the footprint of the FCC maps here. I'm
deducing from the replies that ivtv won't be necessary for that, as mythtv,
which I intend to use as the recording scheduler for such things as the NOVA
programs, might be entirely sufficient for the capture from a USB digital
ATSC receiver.

Thanks everybody for your sharing of your knowledge. I enjoy reading this
(for me, recent) forum as an ongoing education.
