No, just a Hauppauge PVR-150.  I had intended to get a DVB once there
was DVB... is there DVB to be had?  If I get a DVB card now, will it
work with new stuff that is coming out later?  Aren't there plans for
new digital, but not actual specs yet?  I'm only vaguely aware of what's
available, and I'd love to be schooled.
