[mythtv-users] ATSC Capture Reccomendations

[John Massengale]

I have 2 Pinnacle 800i (Pinnacle PCTV HD PCI) cards running on MythTV .21. I
had an ATI HDTV Wonder and the KWorld ATSC 110 that both are terrible for
pulling ATSC singals over the air. BUT, the Pinnacle cards are great (I
think due to the Xceive tuner chip)! They can pull in about 95% of the
channels (in the Bay Area) without an amplified antenna. In fact, it works
with an antenna I built from a 2x4 and some coat hangers that I found
instructions for on YouTube. With amplification it pulls 100% of the
channels, plus some channels from Sacramento which is about 50 miles from
where I live.
