"The HD-5500 is a HDTV tuner card, that recieves free over the high-def broadcasts, as well as unencrypted QAM through your local cable provider. The included xine-hd program allows for the user to watch HDTV in a window. Screenshots are available to see what the card can do. This card is available only for Linux."
http://lunapark6.com/?p=2992 Nice. shame it's NTSC and ATSC only though. I was all ready to buy one... and then realized... no PAL, No DVB-S, C, or T... so those of us who live outside of the US, Canada, South Korea, Argentina, and Mexico are out of luck with this particular card. GNU radio looks very interesting ( http://gnuradio.org/trac and http://www.ettus.com/ for an implementation of the hardware-- the schematics are freely available though, naturally). It's theoretically capable of usefully receiving any radio transmission between 50Hz and 2.9GHz (there are about ten bands each requiring a module), and US HDTV has been decoded from it, so it could make a *very* interesting hobby
