Actually, you are correct that it is in the list. I didn't see it, because
it wasn't listed under the V4L category, but rather under ATSC which was in
the DVB category. Not sure if that's a misclassification, or a
misunderstanding of terminology on my part, as I thought ATSC was what we
used in north america, vs DVB used in the majority of everywhere else.
Also, in that same category, they also list the HDHR prime as supported,
which is also odd, since I'm pretty sure it's not actually ATSC, but rather
QAM only (either clear QAM or using a cablecard).

And I volunteered for nothing. For some reason I get the impression you
somehow took offense to my post
