Re(1): Use Kaffeine to receive free-to-air TV on your Linux box

There are a couple pci cards out there that support blindscan (and some specific apps to work with them). One that comes to mind is the skystar2 vers 2.3 (not 2.6!). The hardware on the card supports blindscan, although some say its not all that sensitive. Also, there are some software projects out there that are working on "brute force" blindscanning using software only. The downside is that bruteforce scanning means trying every possible option - which means most feeds will get missed because they are only in the stream for a little time, and the scan may take many many hours.
