This can be true, but my own experience showed the pchdtv-3000 to be
doing not nearly as well as it could. In the sense that there were
several channels which the card would report an unusably low signal on,
which if I plugged the antenna into the ATSC tuner on the HDTV, it showed
the channel, clear as a bell.
Remember that inside a PC is about as ugly as it gets, RF-wise.
There's a whole lot of square waves running around at 20kHz, 1MHz, 33MHz,
66MHz, 266MHz, etc. That's a whole lotta harmonic soup inside a metal box
up at UHF (>400MHz where HDTV broadcasts usually live). Comparing a tuner
card to a real tuner (outside a PC) isn't really a fair comparison. This
whole thread stated as Air2PC vs. pcHDTV, which *is* apples-to-apples.
