The demodulator inside of the HVr950 device that you're talking about is the LG DT3303 -- it does not demodulate DVB-T, and is meant for use with North American ATSC/QAM. There are the HVR900 sticks that use a zl10353 (or other demods for different models) -- this rev is targeted at DVB-T, and does not work with ATSC. There aren't many devices out there yet that can demodulate digital television signals from all around the world -- you need to get one specific to your locale. Analog television is different, however. Something like the HVR950 *can* receive analog broadcasts in almost any analog video standard. I hope this helps, Mike _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
