Great to hear N! Can you give me any recommendations on hardware, such as DVB-S card, dish style/type, CI/CAM support etc? Anyone out there heard of an ATSC plugin for vdr? simon ----- Original Message ----- From: Mlists To: VDR Mailing List Sent: Wednesday, March 15, 2006 10:32 AM Subject: RE: Any USA users out there? DVB-S works fine in North America -- no problems whatsoever. If you want digital cable, you will need to go with a card that uses ATSC. I don't think VDR has a plugin working for it but I do know that MythTV does. Of course, that would only work with unscambled ATSC digital signals -- which many cable companies provide for their regular subscription channels.
