ATSC PCI cards
As of right now there are 4 confirmed working cards.
- The PCHDTV card
- The air2pc card
- The DViCO FusionHDTV 3 GOLD-Q
- The DViCO FusionHDTV 3 GOLD-T
The air2pc seems to take some work off the processor while I have read the PCHDTV uses 80-90% on an athalon64 3000.
My experience with capturing using the pcHDTV is that it uses 1.3% of CPU (azap + cat + cx88[0] dvb on an athlon64 3500). Actually watching live or captured streams does take a lot of CPU, though, especially without xvmc. --Mitch 21:50, 14 May 2005 (CEST)
The ATSC frontend of the DViCO cards has been tested with 8-VSB (OTA) and QAM-256 (Cable) in the US. QAM256 does not work reliably. A tester reports that on some boots it works prefectly and rebooting it fails altogether. This problem is under investigation. Source code is in video4linux CVS and latest Linux-2.6.13-rc2-mm1.
