I still haven't bought one and will let the Xmas dust settle first (um,
bill paying).

Two questions:
1) Does pchdtv give discounts to sllug members?  Any discounters out there?
2) Currently on my big HDTV I get signal from Comcast and all the
networks have
     HD coming in via channels that are (i.e 9-1) is PBS here and other
dot channels
     sometimes show as - channels in literature.   This is done via the
QAM tuner
     as I understand it.   Will I be able to see all these channels
using the HDTV card
     that I now see on my big screen HD TV?    

Cheers,
Bob
