Which HDTV Capture Card?

Posted by Cliff on Tuesday January 18, 2005 @06:55AM from the who-needs-those-free-gigs-anyways dept.

BenderMan asks: "I would like to purchase an HDTV capture card for a *nix based home PVR project. My criteria is that the card support (or be capable of in future firmware) Encrypted QAM, and that the card ignore the broadcast flag. I'll need to make my choice before July 1st, 2005. Of the few cards available that support HDTV, 64/256-QAM support (needed for cable broadcast) is spotty and it's not clear which cards currently ignore the broadcast flag. Can Slashdot readers provide any insight on the FusionHDTV, the MyHD MDP-130, and the HD-3000 cards, or any others I have overlooked?"

"If anyone has cards, or other hardware, that doesn't workplease point them out to the Linux Incompatibility List. "
My "Intellivision" stored in the closet does not work since I dropped a bowling ball on it. Come to think of it, I'm 100% sure that it is not, and never was Linux compatible. Time to submit it at the linux incompatibility list.
