I've had a Air2PC on backorder from cyberestore for a while now, and
just checked on the status to see that it's delayed until May or June.
Not only that, but it will use a new chipset that probably won't be
supported initially.

Other than cyberestore and the mythtv store listed on froogle, is there
anywhere to actually get these cards?  A lot of people on this list seem
to have them, yet nowhere on the internet seems to have them in stock.
I guess I just missed the boat on this one.  There's a guy selling some
Air2PC cards on ebay for cheap, but he says it's an older version that
doesn't work with Linux.

I've finally convinced myself to blow a wad of cash on a new mythtv box
with enough oomph for HDTV, yet the lack of a capture card hurts.

All I care about is QAM decoding.  I don't do anything OTA, nor will I
since I live in an apartment and can't put up a gargantuan antenna.
Plus, my cable company is nice enough to provide me with unencrypted
local channels in HD, so why make things more complicated?

I have read that the Air2PC card is "better" in the QAM department.  If
I get impatient and go for a HD-3000, would I be missing anything?

Also, would either of these cards be able to capture non-HD digital
cable, assuming it's unencrypted QAM?
