The pcHDTV HD-3000 is an ATSC PCI card, and is well supported under Linux (added to kernel 2.6.12). This was the second ATSC card brought to market by pcHDTV. It is no longer in production and has been superseded by pcHDTV's HD-5500.


lspci -vn will reveal that the card has a subsystem PCI ID of 7063:3000


This card requires a firmware file(s) (dvb-fe-or51132-vsb.fw and dvb-fe-or51132-qam.fw) for the demodulator. These files can be obtained several different ways:

# cd /[kernel source directory]/Documentation/dvb/
# perl get_dvb_firmware or5132_qam
# perl get_dvb_firmware or5132_vsb

Whatever method you choose (you'll get the same files regardless of the source), once the download is complete, place a copy of the firmware files in your /lib/firmware directory. (This directory may differ with some distros; consult your distro's documentation for the appropriate location).
