as for a PCI card - i don't have an idea, but note one thing: the government made a decision to use a different type of broadcast in their future HD broadcasts, then the one originally assumed - check this before you buy any DVB-T equipment.<br>

Do you have any information about this? All I can find is that the number of channels was to be expanded from 5 to 12 and then a few weeks later the expansion was to be to 18.<br></blockquote><br></div>The decision was to use the new DVB-T2 standard for future HD broadcasts, (I assume they will keep the current SD broadcasts on the existing DVB-T channel).<br>
DVB-T2 uses a different encoding than DVB-T yielding about 30% higher bitrate for the same bandwidth, or so are the claims.<br>This is very similar to the DVB-S vs DVB-S2 migration.<br><br>As for MythTV for DVB-T on linux, try searching the <a href="http://www.hometheater.co.il">www.hometheater.co.il</a> forums. I think there are people doing that there.<br>
