Re: [tlug] Question regarding TV Card for Linux;

[Dave M G <dave@example.com>]

Bjoern,

I asked about this a while back as well. I can't find the thread right
now, but the bottom line is that Japanese digital signals have
proprietary encoding, and there are no PC cards licensed to carry their
signal. At least not right now, and not anything supported in Linux for
the foreseeable future.

I don't know about satellite connections, though.

I have a Mythbuntu machine with a Hauppauge PVR-150 card in it, which
will become useless in 2011 when all broadcasts go digital. So I'm also
interested in developments in how to get digital signal on a Linux machine.

I'm considering signing up with my internet provider for digital TV, but
it comes with its own reciever/tuner thing, and I'm not sure how that
will integrate with the Mythbuntu set up that I'm comfortable with.
