Wanting to build an hdtv tuner - Page 2

It's full software programable.

My core is running Linux & there is a CDRom drive for upgrade ability.

Since there are so many HDTV, and digital TV formats in general, including some new ones yet to come, I figured this is the best way to approach a universal tuner.

The problem for now is the high price. However, within 2 years, this should drop to consumer price levels.

Gee, I don't want to have to kill anyone. Now lets see, Who was the last US owned TV company that developed the HDTV broadcast standard and was based in Chicago.

Later boys;
Bruce

PS: JGwinner, the cable guys won't carry any HD until there customers make enough noise to force them to.

Some cable companies are dragging their feet, but Time Warner has been delivering HD cable for a while now, in a number of markets. The HD boxes have been going to the squeakiest wheels, so to speak, and have not been widely advertised as being available. Good luck - Pat
