May be it depends on the computer. I may have to try on one of my other
systems.

We will have to wait until there are transmissions. But as you I assume
that they will be encrypted and till a HDTV card with decryption is
available and supported by Linux will take some time. In the meantime I
just try to forget the HDTV demos I already saw and by happy with that
what is available. :-)

The last change from Crystal Image scaler to Lumagen Vision scaler was a
big step in image quality. But I don't plan to change anything in my HT
until HDTV is available because with the current setup I can see the
artefacts of the MPEG stream and it is just not worth to invest more
money to see the artefacts better. ;-)
