Did you get any takers? I've yet to switch out my old analog tuner

might work with my mythTV (whether it would "just work").
I've got a PCIe x16 slot. If it crashes we know; if it works, I'd
like to try hooking my antenna up to it and seeing if a quick menu
config will yield compatibility. I'm not going to make you sit there
while I hunt drivers. I just want to gauge the effort.

I need someone with a spare PCIe slot to try my digital tuner card.

I don't care if you get any channels, I just want to see it not crash. :-)
I had a 2nd PCIe slot so I tried that and it works out of the box.
I use VLC and it works perfectly (probably better than Windows).
I tried Kaffeine (nice interface) but it stutters on the audio.
I didn't like using that slot because I had to disconnect the firewire
header which blocked the card.
I never use firewire so it's not huge loss.
