And I am still dead here,
I have installed all the xawtv stuff only to find that no ATSC functionaliy has been added. It can get the 1 signal from a 10 watt translator about 20 miles away that is still broadcasting in NTSC format, but at that distance and wattage, the signal to noise is about 1/1 when conditions are good, perhaps 5% of the time.
I have installed all the dvb_apps and friends, but while it finds the "Oren OR51132 VSB/QAM Frontend" doesnt support TERRCABLE_ATSC apparently not finding the atsc list for std terrestrial broadcasting in the US, so until I can find a configurator to tell it different, thats out.
That leaves kaffeine, whose scanner scans about 3 or 4 channels a second, not giving this card adequate time to lock to the signal so it registers.
the KDE version of kaffeine did in fact work well with this card an iteration or 2 back up the log, not too long before I installed TDE in fact. However, I can find no means to slow its at least 10x too fast channel scan that it does now. And the site it got program listngs from seems to be defunct too.
Is there not another application yet that will play ATSC broadcasts?

From a gentoo forum message, its both a module loading order problem, and a missing module problem. It seems one must unload cx88-dvb, at which point kaffeine loses its DVB button, and load cx88-atsc. But that module does not exist on my system, and the synaptics search function is coming up empty.
Where can I source that module?
Thanks.
