My only question is this: While this is great for the Euro Market--Will it work in the North America Market? Does Europe use the same DVB-T system as North America?
Of course DVB-T standard is not used in the US, so all it would be good for is satellite for people in the US.
I think I'd wait to see if they provide an ATSC card for it, unless the price is very low.
