"In a stunning victory for hardware makers and television buffs, a federal appeals court has tossed out government rules that would have outlawed many digital TV receivers and tuner cards starting July 1."

And here i was worried and scrambling to find an HDTV tuner that would pick up cable signals and is compatible with linux...

I'm waiting for a QAM enabled one for linux... waiting... waiting... waiting... currently cable i recieve is analog thus dont need a tuner box or anything. however the FCC mandated that by 2007? all broadcasts are digital.
