I received a little info on it. Its $399. But actually the company doesn't seem to excited about trying to sell this. The following is an email exchange with them... I'm also attaching the document they reference, but don't know what type of file it is and haven't spent the time to find a viewer. Can't believe they seem so ho-hum about their own product. I still think it may have some merit; but if they don't want to sell / support it... Brian ==================================================== Brian, Attached is some help lib info for satellite router (S75). We do not have this info for ATSC verison yet, but this may be of some help to you..

But it seems pricing differences might make the PCI version more attrractive. Let me know what you think and I'll let you know what I hear back (might take a couple of days).

Visi is my ISP only. I'm exploring using multiple devices like this with a Mythtv project. Its possible / likely the economics wont favor this, but the idea is a few devices concentrated throught a 1000Mbps switch to a single network storage device. This might have benefits because many machines have greater bus bandwidth to a 1000Mbps network port and HD controllers than to the standard PCI bus. Also concentrating multiple HDTV streams into one network wire has benefits by easier moving the lan device to remote parts of the house. Finally, I assume using a Linux library would not require kernel drivers, but rather a simple API user mode library. This might make solutions simplier, more stable, and easier to port. I haven't through through all the aspects, its just the existence of the device got me thinking. At twice the price of the Air2PC device, it may not pay, but I'll think on it.
