[Gslug-general] FCC DTV Transition Outreach Event (Today/Tomorrow)

[daleville at gmail.com]

I'm actually looking for another digital tuner card for my myth box. I
currently have an hd-5500 but will probably not buy another. There are
much cheaper cards that work just fine.

A quick newegg search for the cheapest pci qam capable cards shows:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815122008

which works in linux:

$59.99

Also if you have an open pci-express x1 slot you could get an hvr-1250
for even cheaper:

$49.99
