[mythtv-users] Is there an analog/HD tuner out there?

[Craig Courtney]

I have 2 of the Kworld 110 cards.  They do not play well doing both  
NTSC and ATSC.  The current drivers does not properly switch inputs.   
It may work for you if you are doing cable / QAM as they would use  
the same input, but I couldn't even get that working properly  
consistently.

This was all with new install of Gentoo (2.6.18-gentoo-r6 w/ manually  
patch .20 to include NTSC support for 110) earlier this week as well  
as an up to date Fedora Core 6 using atrpms bleeding SVN.  FC 6 just  
released a 2.6.19 package today, but I have not tried that as of  
yet.  Still debating on FC 6, Gentoo, or Ubuntu.
