Anyone else aware of this card? I searched through the site and I was surprised to find hardly any threads referencing it.
This card [Netstream 2000] is the next model up from Sigma Designs 'Hollywood Plus' card. They have driver support for Linux. I checked out their newsgroups and there are lots of people using it under Linux successfully. Hardware DVD playback on your monitor, TV out support, AC-3, etc. Quite impressive.
I suppose the lack of interested is due to the price tag - $250. I picked one up on ebay for quite a deal, however. I should have it tomorrow, and I can't wait to try it out.
