Anyone successfully using a HD-5500 card from http://www.pchdtv.com/ on Fedora 7?
Been thinking about giving it a try, but thought I should look for success stories first :-).
It should work ok, I've been using a pcHDTV-3000 since back in FC2 days, and it has generally worked very well.
(This would be on an x86_64 dual core AMD system).
Or maybe I'll wait a while and see if they come out with a cable card compatible version so I can watch encrypted channels too...
That is NOT gonna happen as that cable specific encryption is their 'vendor lock-in' & is considered as a non-negotiable theft preventative measure.
Did you check out: http://www.linuxquestions.org/hcl/
If you give it a try and have notes to add - I think they encourage that.
