New Let us know how you like it.
[link|http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=128856&cid=10753869|These] comments on /. make it sound a bit dodgey.

The card only works with over-the-air HDTV. While that's understandable, there are only 8 or so HD local stations around here, and much of their stuff isn't worth watching.

Please let us know whether you think the card and software are usable and worth the trouble. If not, as an AC there says, just sending the money directly to the EFF might make more sense.

Thanks.

Cheers,
Scott.

New Nope... that would be the only because they...
Lack the skill.

The card only works with over-the-air HDTV

That would be the HD2000. The HDTV over cable onlyhas to get through the Line Filter at the Splice-in at the street.

The HDTV is held back There. Now, if I were to "order" HDTV from the Cable CO, no problems. It'll still work with traditional signals.

No matter how much Microsoft supporters whine about how Linux and other operating systems have just as many bugs as their operating systems do, the bottom line is that the serious, gut-wrenching problems happen on Windows, not on Linux, not on Mac OS. -- [link|http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1622086,00.asp|source]
