So, would the DVB-T card just work with ATSC or is it fundamentally different (like DVB-C is different to DVB-S). In which case should I get a USB ATSC dongle or two?

For Cabel and Terr you need a patched VDR

Also you need then a plugin to get the epg data over atsc

Take a closer look here --> http://www.fepg.org/

If you use VDR on Gentoo, yust enable use-flag atsc

Ohh, I have gentoo, so that's good.

Do you know if I will need a new ATSC card or is a DVB-T card similar enough that it'll work?
