Indeed. I used the pcHDTV cards in my systems for a long time, but with the hdhomerun supplying 2 tuners for such a low price I pretty much have moved completely away from pcHDTV. I like that they are aimed at Linux, but so is/was the hdhomerun so it wasn't a choice of morals at that point, purely a price war. I think by now the pcHDTV cards should have dropped down to reasonable levels to continue to compete (by reasonable I mean $60-$80 max) especially with all the new stuff coming out (Component capture cards, hybrid NTSC/ATSC cards, HDMI "tuners"...). I'd move back to pcHDTV if they would try to compete for my business. -Chad /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
