Except that, as far as Myth and Linux are concerned, QAM or ATSC cards 
appear as DVB(-style) devices, so what is true for DVB is also true for 
ATSC and Clear-QAM. There may not be as many transponders (stations) 
sharing a multiplex (frequency) as DVB has, but it does work in the 
same, essential, way.
