Since I am in Houston for the month of July I left my HDTV card with Rodney 
Mishima so that he, or some other member of the group could work with it. He 
has the card, some coax, a small directional antenna, and a giant Viewsonic 
GS 815 that I loaned him. I got the HDTV card working with my primary 
desktop using a clean hard drive. So that is a backup system if we need it, 
but it is only a 1800 p4, and it craps out sometimes because it is 
underpowered. I was only trying it with a 1280x1024 monitor so maybe if we 
use the GS 815 it will work fine because it doesn't have to scale the image. 
Rodney has an AMD 64 bit system that he volunteered early on in the project 
that should have plenty of power. I don't know what he has done with it, or 
if he has tested out the GS 815. The monitor should work, but the picture 
quality might be marginal. I think it has a focus problem, or something. 
According to specs I found online is should be able to handle the highest 
HDTV resolutions at 80 Hrz. 

If anyone is interested in working on it contact Rodney. I might be able to 
provide some help, but since I have been in Houston I haven't had internet 
long enough to even check my email more than once every few days. I will be 
back in town late on the 1st so if we need my backup solution I can get 
everything together then.
