[mythtv-users] A card that really needs drivers

This was discussed a few months ago in the Knoppmyth mailing list.  It
seems that it will only record non-protected HDCP-compliant content,
which will probably amount to only your local HD programming, which we
can already usually get over firewire from cable boxes.  Secondly,
this is *uncompressed* HD video (which is what a real digital video
editor would use); so we're talking something like 80 gB for a one
hour show.  While I'd love to buy some more hard drives, I'm not sure
I could justify the massive array needed to use one of these for tv.
