Stephen, Feel free to continue helping him -- I just stated the facts ... There is no need for any photos or any kind of research in order to support this board -- I already have been there and done that -- it's already fully supported. --EXCEPT for analog. He needs to use hg tip if he wants digital to work. ...meanwhile, he needs analog, because he's using some internal analog video network. I think he's screwed. Sorry, tim. If you want to use the board to receive ATSC digital television from the air, or Clear QAM Annex-B digital cable, then you're golden. -Mike _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
