I'm using VDR in Bellevue, WA - but only analog with a Hauppauge PVR-150 card. The limited FTA channels in DVB-S (Satellite dish) stopped me buying such a card. Also DVB-T won't work as USA doesn't use that standard (ATSC). Neither will DVB-C as they don't use that either! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Marco Goebenich" <mg@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "VDR Mailing List" <vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, August 01, 2006 12:01 AM Subject: Re: [Offtopic] US Television (near Washington D.C.)
