The card is supported under Linux, and captures NTSC and ATSC video streams. It also ignores the Broadcast Flag, which means that it will be illegal in the States starting July 1st, 2005, under a recent FCC Order. If you are interested in being able to make your own decisions about what you can do with broadcast HDTV content, this is your last, best, chance."</i><br /><br />Thanks to Slashdot, you can't get to the site right now, but if you've been thinking about getting a HDTV card for your PC, this might be the time to jump.

Ummmm I believe this is a Linux only card. I will be picking it up to work on my Myth (http://www.mythtv.org) box though :)

I Didn't say they weren't PC's but just a heads up to any Windows only folks not to get too excited.
