HDTV Ahoy!
So. PCHDTV card took awhile to configure. It took going to #debian on freenode, but I got it working somewhat. The problem is that the old girl can't take decoding most of the HD streams. The Radeon lacks XvMC support, so there is no MPEG-2 hardware acceleration, which means I'm stuck with the textured video via xv. Looks like that system upgrade is coming a little faster than I thought.
In addition, the antenna is rather good, but is way too bulky. I might try a cheapie from Meijer or something. Otherwise there's a nice flat one on Amazon.com. So, I have a TV antenna for sale...
