Erm, sorry, but that's just not correct on multiple levels. The  
broadcast flag was shot down, and I'm not aware of any cards on the  
market today that actually have support to look for it, and certainly  
none of them do anything with said broadcast flag, since it isn't  
sent by anyone... There are at least a dozen HDTV cards on the market  
right now that work under Linux and will happily ignore the broadcast  
flag if it somehow gets resurrected.

This is also incorrect. They have Windows drivers too (CD image that  
ships w/the card linked below, not the directory on it containing  
Windows drivers). But they *are* the only ones who build their cards  
with Linux in mind, and worry about Linux support before Windows  
support.
