I use the pcHDTV-3000 (dvb)
That's very interesting, I may have another try at it. But I have never been able to get the pcHDTV-3000 to work with anything other than the standard v4l drivers. The DVB drivers did not work when I tried that, whether I used the default ones or the ones downloaded from pchdtv.com, using FC3 but still with a 2.6.10 kernel (maybe that's my problem?) But there are other things I use like VMware that I could never get to build proper modules for 2.6.11 so I'm still on 2.6.10. As of now I've decided to get a PVR-150 card so that I can get decoding done in hardware. Until I'd been on this list for a while, I foolishly believed there was no such thing as a WinCapture card :-) (think WinModem if you didn't get the joke). If I get the PVR-150 working, I may later try connecting an OTA antenna to the pcHDTV-3000 to try and get some real HD. I do find it interesting that there may be some actual HD content on analog cable. I'll have to look into that more. --Greg
