pcHDTV 3000 card support?

[Antacus]

I just got one of these bad boys in today. It is meant for Linux but right now I only have Sage working. Anyone think this card would work with Sage or tried it?

Isn't that the Linux-only HD card?

I was in the same boat - I was working on a MythTV install, and gave up due to hardware issues after ordering my pcHDTV. After doing some research I came to believe that it will be usable eventually, but I decided I would rather get the Air2PC card which does more decoding in hardware and puts a lower load on the computer. I figure that by the time it is back in stock, most of the heavy lifting on Sage/HD will be done here.

The pcHDTV did come with Windows drivers, but I think they came from the chipset vendor, not the pcHDTV crew. They were very nice about authorizing a return, and say they will give me a full refund (minus shipping, of course).

Meanwhile, I just confirmed tonight that my HD cable box has a firewire output, so I'll be trying that out for a while.
