I don't think it is, as it's a dual mode card, so VDR will assume it's a
DVB card and not allow it to work with IVTV..

I use a Hauppauge PVR-500 which I got on eBay..

I have a script to generate channels.conf for PVRInput and ATSC Clear
Qam, which I'm about to publish.. Although it's a bit random.. I need to
tidy it up a little first.  It requires a kaffeine channels.dvb
(generated by w_scan as w_scan won't generate a qam vdr channels.conf),
then uses xmltv's output to find channel names and xmltv id's (for
loadepg.pl), and then finds their channels from silicondusts qam lookup
page using your zip code.

Convoluted, but seems to work.  Comcast are messing around weekly with
our channels, which is what drove me to this..
