I picked up a spare card during the Broadcast Flag (DRM) "Scare" in 2006. The picture is from the website, since I don't want to open the box for a picture.

Would I need a converter box to record over the air channels.Or would this be for cable users only.

Over the Air (OTA) will work without a convert box, but you will need an antenna.

QAM should enable you to get unencrypted cable channels, if you have cable.

Mainly Linux.

Windows - you can get unsupported drivers from pchdtv.com.

Windows is not supported, but there are some drivers available. There are some instructions in the forums: http://bit.ly/9gCkUZ for installing it and running an open source DVR program. Looks like they got it to work with SP2.

It is really a Linux HDTV card more than anything.

Yes, it is ATSC and meant for Over-The-Air as well as unencrypted QAM.

F It. I'll bid anyways. If it doesn't work on my Vista, I'll just switch to Ubuntu Linux when I want to use it. Or I'll write my own drivers (FAIL)
