The problem is that there is not really any ATSC broadcasts in north 
america yet. Widest availability is either satellite DVB (which is already 
supported obviously), or the strange mutation of digital cable used here 
which nothing seems to be able to interface to except the custom set-top 
boxes manufactured specifically for the north american cable companies.

If anyone knows of PC hardware that can work on the north american digital 
cable system, I am "all ears".
