I find the 3000 cards work much, much better in my setup than the 2000 cards. The 2000 cards appear to have too small a hardware FIFO, so in some machines they may not be able to get access to the PCI bus quickly enough to avoid FIFO overruns. > -- Which cards only work for DVB? Which only for OTA? So far, the HD-2000/3000 only do OTA. Supposedly they'll soon do *unencrypted* QAM-encoded digital cable. > -- How much CPU power is required to playback 1080i or 720p streams? My 3.2G P4 with HT uses about 44% of "both" CPU's playing back the most CPU-intensive streams. You can probably figure it out from there. > OS: > -- What Kernel, IVTV/V4L/ are recommended for: > -- HD-2000 > -- HD-3000 I use 2.6.9 with pcHDTV-1.6 (patched to extend the software buffer for the HD-2000) and ivtv-0.2.0-rc3b. No v4l patch. Everything works very smoothly now. Cheers, Kyle
