Hopefully it's not a dumb question, 'cause I want to know too. I've been experimenting since I got my card (about a week ago), and have had LIMITED success. Right now I'm using the dvb drivers (cx88-dvb) for ATSC and the cx8800 for NTSC. But for me, what usually happens is that if I start in ATSC mode, I can't switch to NTSC (and vice-versa).
Regarding the mythtvsetup: I configured two separate tuners: a V4L2 one (NTSC) using /dev/video1 (I have a webcam on /dev/video0), and a DVB one (ATSC). Then I set up two separate antennas (one HD, one SD) with Zap2It (you have to use 2 different zip codes to set up 2 profiles, AFAIK), and tied each to its respective tuner. And you can select which format to use (and thus which tuner) on a per-channel basis (as well as having a "global default" which you already found).
I'm using the 2.0 drivers from the pcHDTV website, FC3 and kernel 2.6.10-1.770_FC3.
BTW, anyone know how to tell MythTV which tuner to use when first starting LiveTV? Mine's defaulting to my NTSC one, and I want the ATSC one.

Hi,
This may be a dumb question. Can I watch analog and digital tv using the same pcHDTV-3000 card? I attempted but without success.
There is a TV format option in mythtvsetup. I guess if I selected ATSC I won't be able to watch NTSC channels. Is this correct?
