It would take some convincing to make me try a TV card for the computer again.
You are in Europe. Just "step over the border" :-) into Germany and get yourself the TechniSat SkyStar 2 DVB-T (or -C or -S) and I will guarantee that you will be fine. This card is specified to work with Linux.
Now, I am in Australia and I am using it, and have been for ~6 years. You should be able to go for a short drive one afternoon and pick one up in Germany, right? :-) .
Oh, yeah.
You people living on a large country like the US or Australia have a funny idea of what is a short trip for us! X'-)
It is 2500 Km, or 22 hours, according to google maps, from here to Berlin. Anything above 900 Km in a car is too much for me :-)
Ah, you Europeans are spoilt, and aren't what you used to be. With all those autobahns and you still cannot make it to Berlin and back in under 20 hours?! The cyclists competing in the Tour de France can do better. Look at what Hannibal did with his army, elephants, and all, in tow. Soft living, that's what it is....... :-D . (Anyway, you do have such a thing called "Postal Service", yes? :-) ) I'd be interested if you could let me know how much this card now costs in Euros. I paid AUD95 for it from the local importer/distributor (who, by coincidence, happens to live less than 10km away) when I bought mine. (And I think I told a lie in the earlier post: I think I've been using it for ~4 years and not the "~6 years" I mentioned.)
