I installed it only to find out that they had made a hardware revision to the card and it was no longer Linux-compatible.  Then I researched and ordered a different card and then waited two weeks for it to ship only to be notified that it was out of stock and the manufacturer had discontinued it.  THEN I bought a third card, an HVR-1250, only to open the box and find an incompatible HVR-1265 instead.  Beyond frustrating.

So my question is this: can anyone recommend a Linux-compatible PCI or PCI-E USA ATSC card that is still being manufactured and won't be the wrong card in the right box?  I just need something, -ANYTHING- that will work!

This is the simplest thing available and just works. I have 3 now.
