Hey Sluggers,
Just after any sluggers war stories with Digital TV tuner cards on
Linux, especially Ubuntu. Simple is good and cheap is great as it's for
a pilot project that doesn't have a great deal of money and if all goes
well we'll be purchasing a large number of them so cost will be an issue.

Thats why I like it. Under Windoze XP its allowed me to easily copy my old
tapes, and tapes from my wife's family overseas ( PAL and NTSC) to digital

My boss is trying to get this exact service working under FreeBSD (Linux
