michael, my experience is tainted, admittedly, but i would like to help set your expectations.
i used a (mediocre) external antennae that i routed with coax to the top of my house (literally to the peak, outside). (my hdtv has a coax connection for antennae hd signals.) during the daylight hours my reception was basically non-existent. during the evenings i got some great signal. (this is how i watched the ncaa men's basketball championship.) you can expect better results if you use a better antennae, i'm sure. best of luck to you. my $.02, stan -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Michael Hrivnak Sent: Thursday, June 08, 2006 5:25 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [TriLUG] external hdtv I'd like to buy an hdtv tuner that uses usb or firewire, and I'd like it to work in both linux and OSX. Does such a thing exist? I've been searching through product reviews, forums, and such quite a bit, but so far I can't find an account of one working in linux. What suggestions do you have? It would sure be nice to take advantage of the free hdtv broadcasts!
