DTV is broadcast in 5.1 stereo so not quite so pointless - for
regular TV it's pointless.  Don't think there are any linux drivers for
any of the 2 or 3 HDTV tuner cards out there yet.  It's a comin' tho.
TeraLogic/Oak pretty much has the market cornered on DTV PCI cards
currently - there was rumor there were going to open source their
drivers but so far it hasn't happened.  Gotta keep hasslin' them I
guess.
