Given ATI's history with respect to giving out info on the NxtWave silicon -
Don't touch that card with a ten-foot pole if you ever want to tune HDTV in Linux.

Right now the pcHDTV is the only game in town.  It probably wouldn't be too hard
to get the DVICO Fusion series working in Linux as they are VERY similar to the
pcHDTV (i.e. they have a demod feeding a Bt878 bridge, as opposed to the
@#*)#$*)@#$*#@)**)@#$ TL880 present in most HDTV tuner cards), but no Linux
users touch the Fusion when the pcHDTV is just as good and 100% supported in Linux.
