Another point to take note is that someone told me that switching
channels on DVB-T receiver cards on Linux (or maybe also on Windows?)
takes a second or two, it's not as immediate as on a set-top box. This
is NOT specific for this (cute) hardware.

Back when he told me this my plan was to use my Linux desktop at the
study as a pre-programmed PVR to record programs at specific times,
not a set-top box to watch TV in real-time, so it's probably less of a
concern than when planning to use Linux inside a set-top box.

This is for Australia but I guess the basic hardware/limitations are the same.
