The AIR2PC card is known to work under Linux and work is being done
to get it working under Myth. It can also work with QAM which is the
modulation scheme that cable operators use on their video signals.
This means that you can get the unencrypted Comcast digital signals.
Sorry to say, but HBO won't be available to you S it's encrypted...

Rumor has it that the pcHD crew is working on a firmware update that
includes QAM in addition to ATSC.
