Yep - now imaging controlling a DCT-5100 via serial port and capturing
the hidef content through one of these cards.  That plus a SoundBlaster
Audigy (for incoming digital audio) and presto, HDTV over cable in
mythtv!  (Of course, it's only a pipe dream, as I doubt the vendor is
going to simply give some of these cards away so that an open source
driver can be written... ah well...)
