I have no idea if the saa713x A/V decoder code could be used at all (doesn't dvb nescessarily involve mpeg?). Does it get you composite video? Sorry I don't know more. Here in Holland, if you receive DVB-T at all it's my understanding that only the 3 public stations are FTA. I'm still on analog cable (though their reception is digital nowadays, it shows in the sort of artifacts I can sometimes see), and I hope to keep it that way for a long time coming ;-) BTW, I know that "Raaf" (of pwcbsd fame) has a DVB driver for some device, and also there's another guy who sometimes posts here that has a driver for a hauppauge "NOVA" card which is also DVB-T IIRC. Cheers, Dan
