FYI... If you use this w/the PVR-150 in the same computer you will probably have problems with the IR receiver. For some reason the Linux PVR-150 IR driver has never been improved to prevent this. There is a known patch. This is the card I use for OTA ATSC. I know someone who uses it for QAM. We both have been able to get it working with mythtv. Neither of us use the un-encoded NTSC tuner on the KWorld ATSC 110. The MVPMC / MediaMVP will not be able to play back HD TV. It will play back standard definition TV received by the KWorld ATSC 110 digital tuner. However, the audio will probably be out of sync w.r.t. the video. There are various ways to avoid both of these problems. The bottom line is that you need to transcode these program then view them using the MVPMC / MediaMVP. Of course, Tom, you knew most of that. I guess this post is more for anyone following this thread. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
