[mythtv-users] OT HD-3000 RAW?

[Cory Papenfuss]

 	I haven't tried emailing them directly on this topic, but Jack did 
answer my QAM question fairly quickly.  Although it is an "opensource" 
project, I think they're kinda stuck by binary-only ucode agreements. 
That's why QAM support is not up to coders.  Tough to randomly twiddle 
hundreds to thousands of bytes at random to see if you can make it do what 
you want.

 	It'd be worth a shot to give them a holler, I guess.  Probably 
wait until the pent-up HD-3000 demand fervor dies down a bit though.
