Also, I don't seem to be able to find xawtv-decrypt, I see something that is supposed to unscrable analog tv, but that is not so much what I am looking for.
Thanks
Matt

well unless there is something very strange going on over there in the states, it actually is, the only difference is some companys scramble their channels so only their set-top boxes can decode it.
But dont stress, some smart linux coders have made a version of xawtv called xawtv-decrypt, which uses software to descramble the channel.
The digital tuner cards are perfectly suitable to digital cable or sat signals. I know of people here who have PVR-350's and can watch foxtel digital without a problem, they just cant record anything yet because the add-ons to xawtv havnt yet been made as a patch or add-on to other software, such as mencoder.
If you want to see if this works, you need a digi tuner card, and if you can tune into the channel and hear the audio but the picture is all messed up - then it will work but you just need xawtv-decrypt, and if you really want to you can start coding up a patch for other recording/viewing software (or google really hard 'cos someone may have already done it).
