I plan to get a dual ATSC tunner at some point, but as the 2250 does not seem to even be out yet and the HDHomeRun does not support NTSC, I am looking at getting a cheaper card that does suport NTSC for now. I am runing VDR and using the Nexus RGB out to a 23 year old Sony. So any HD must be down scaled anyway. AS a couple of our Digital locals are HD, this is what I want a card with NTSC for, to get the SDTV format of those channels. Cards like the pcHDTV HD-5500 while claiming to suport NTSC, do not have a HW mpeg encoder to convert the video to a format that can be sent out the Nexus video out. You would still need to set up software encoder/decoders. Problem is, the specs for ATSC tuner cards fall far short of providing this info. So what I want to know is, do any of the following cards have HW mpeg2 encoders that is suported by linux/vdr: DVICO FusionHDTV 5 RT Lite http://store.snapstream.com/fusionhdtv-lite.html?gclid=CJODl6T0-ZECFQovgwod0Vg_xA KWorld ATSC 115 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815260005 (they also have a 120, but I'm not finding much about linix suport for it ether) Pinnacle PCTV HD http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815144018 _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
