Patrick told me that, and that is why I didnt buy it on > ebay. $49.95 buy-it-now! No, that was the r2 card, based on the Broadcom 3510. For more information regarding some confusion about the Air2PC see: http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2005-September/004600.html Anyways, the r3 does demodulate QAM -- you can read about some user experiences here: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=509869 It was another thread on AVS that made me question whether Tom's patch was correct for the hardware. You can find that here :http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2005-September/004479.html Needless to say, it was correct. That is why I stated it was pretty funny that I was now correcting the Nxt2004 frequency, as seen here: http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2005-October/005607.html > > Although it is possible to carry 8VSB over cable, I dont think it's > actually being done anywhere in practice, although I could be wrong. I know it used too circa ~2000 on some small cable networks. There where even threads about this on AVS. The big kicker is that there are few DVB-C networks in North America too. I presently discovered this and brought it up on AVS (got a lot of flak from non-believers, but then someone stepped forward and said that they were indeed on a small network (in Arizona IIRC) that used DVB-C). Anyways, the cable scene in North America is probably nowadays a mixture of proprietary Motorola standards (or derivatives) and OpenCable/SCTE/ ITU-T J.83 .... with the overall movement towards OpenCable. > > Would be nice for someone who has that card to test it with the new > nxt200x driver.
