> I am thinking about buying a HDTV capture card for OTA ATSC broadcasts.  I am not sure which card to buy.  At one point I bought the Fusion card but couldnt get it to work in linux and windows it would lock onto channels.  Even though i am only 13 milesf from the tower.  Anyways...

If you are running OTA analog on your old card, plus digital with your

Zap2it doesn't support this on one account so you may need to create a 
second zap2it account.
