With all the programming here available over ATSC (and it looks and
sounds SOOOO much better than NTSC), I haven't even bothered/attempted
to do NTSC...

What I ment by the driver appears to work is that I'm able to get data
out of the card...  I only worked on the digital video, and the driver
will need a bit more work to support video, audio and digital video...

Yes, and I'm not sure why... I am able to get a trickle of data out
of the card, and it is valid, in that I get the TVCT table that has
data, but when I do, I only get about 100kB/sec, definately not the
2.5MB/sec I'm suppose to...

The Linux driver also has a bug in that they don't consistantly keep
two registers that control serial or parallel mode for the digital
video input, and the linux-dvb list completely ignored the report...
