I bought one of these on Sunday because I was desperately hoping to
catch the Pats in HD, and it was the only sub $100 HD tuner I could
find in North Central Florida.  (Exceptionaly astute readers will note
at this point that I was on a fools errand - North Central Florida has
no NBC affiliate).

Anyhow, this thing does not appear to be supported by mythtv yet.
Moreover, it hasn't even been mentioned on the myth mailing lists.

So let me be the first: Pinnacle PCTV HD Pro Stick.

It appears to be a combo ATSC tuner/bt878 w/ divx encoder on a usb
stick.  It's slick as hell, and I like the idea of being able to take
my tuner to work with me.

If anybody has any info on this thing, please pass them along.  Brady
wouldn't have thrown 4 picks if he'd been able to see all 540 lines of
the field.

I found nothing of interest regarding this thing in /var/log/messages,
dmesg, or lspci.   Attatched is my lsmod output.  Note that there are
also DVB-S and bt878 capture cards in tis system.
