[mythtv-users] Updating list of HDTV tuners for the HOWTO

My HD5000 worked just fine in QAM mode for U.S. cable, using 2.6.14 and 
a simple patch.  That was for proof of concept.  I've built my new HDTV 
front end, compiled mythtv, and will be switching to this system in the 
next few days.  Note that the HD5000 does only digital (ATSC broadcast 
and QAM); it will not tune analog (NTSC) channels.
