Just a quick Q about USB DVB-T HDTV Tuners..?
I have a mate who has one, and says I can have it if I want it, don't remember the breed. Will this work in place of the one that I got with my T3..?
I'm thinking Linux drivers would be needed, but I'm not that familiar with how these things work outside a Windows environment, and certainly not on this box...

Aren't the BDA drivers Windows only..?
