OK. It's not a big thing as long as I know it will only function as an SDR.
I did use the software that came with it (on a windoze 7 box) and scanned the frequencies - but it found nothing.
As I recall you should be between coverage areas for TV. You can check out http://tvfool.com/ and see what is in your area. You'd need a high gain antenna to get anything. If you double up the larger antenna I showed you then you might be able to get something from the East (Winnipeg) or West (Regina).
Robert had it working quite well on linux / ubuntu -- even supports >1 unit at the same time. :-)
I'm using Mint so things would be in the same repositories. I was just curious if mplayer and v4l accessed the tuner hardware only as a tuner or used the onboard hardware to decode the signals.
What are the advantages of more than one unit? Greater gain... Triangulation... Pulling out a weak signal masked by a stronger one...

With the e4000 are you still able to use it as a TV tuner or doesit only work as an SDR? The info about the unit says it doesn't support North American TV but couldn't this have a software workaround in Linux?
