pcHDTV Card Available, Legal for Now

Posted by michael on from the war-on-hardware dept.

corby writes "pcHDTV has announced that their new HD-3000 Hi Definition Television Card will be shipping tomorrow, November 8th. The card is supported under Linux, and captures NTSC and ATSC video streams. It also ignores the Broadcast Flag, which means that it will be illegal in the States starting July 1st, 2005, under a recent FCC Order. If you are interested in being able to make your own decisions about what you can do with broadcast HDTV content, this is your last, best, chance."

    Being free doesn't guarantee you the right to steal from others.

    This will free up part of the UHF television band for other uses.

    More channels? (Actually, that would be a bad thing if you live in the bible belt - Robert Tilton and Billy Graham 24-7)

    It would be cool if it didn't suck.
