As of right now there are 6 confirmed working cards.

  • The PCHDTV card
  • The air2pc card
  • The DViCO FusionHDTV 3 GOLD-Q
  • The DViCO FusionHDTV 3 GOLD-T
  • The DViCO FusionHDTV 5 GOLD
  • The DViCO FusionHDTV 5 LITE

The air2pc seems to take some work off the processor while I have read the PCHDTV uses 80-90% on an athalon64 3000.

My experience with capturing using the pcHDTV is that it uses 1.3% of CPU (azap + cat + cx88[0] dvb on an athlon64 3500). Actually watching live or captured streams does take a lot of CPU, though, especially without xvmc. --Mitch 21:50, 14 May 2005 (CEST)

Using a HD-3000 on an Athlon XP 1800+ and GeForce 6600GT: watching live 720p using mplayer -vo xvmc takes 45-60% cpu while 1080i causes frame drops and pretty much pegs the cpu at 100%. Capturing either takes very little CPU as posted by Mitch above.

The ATSC frontend of the DViCO cards has been tested with 8-VSB (OTA) and QAM-256 (Cable) in the US. Source code is in video4linux + dvb-kernel CVS and kernel sources 2.6.13 and later.
