At this time, no. However, we've provided some samples to members of the Linux community, and they have volunteered their time to try and write some support. - Ryan

Excellent, Scott! Be sure to provide a link (if possible) to your thoughts! I'm also here if you encounter any issues, or simply just need some help getting the best out of your GT. Enjoy! - Ryan Pertusio AutumnWave Technical Support OnAir Solution North America

Thanks Scott :) I'm here if you need any technical support. FYI... between the times you posted, we released an update to our software. It's likely you'll receive a CD with older software from Buy.com. Simply install the CD software, then head over to our website (autumnwave.com) and get the latest Driver & Program for the OnAir GT. If you have any further questions or comments, feel free to let me know. - Ryan Pertusio Autumnwave Technical Support OnAir Solution North America

Hi Scott, Thanks for fixing the link! I provide tech support questions regularly on forums. There's actually a 48+ page discussion on AVS Forum if you want to read more: http://avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=695589 We have 3 products... the 'OnAir Sasem', 'OnAir Creator' and the 'OnAir GT' (oldest to newest.) A comparison chart can be found on our website, but I'll describe a bit more in this post: http://autumnwave.com/products/consumer/comparison_chart_-_onair_hdtv_products.html OnAir Sasem - In 2003, we introduced this as the world's first USB 2.0 HDTV tuner! It features a Philips tuner and is powered by an AC adapter. OnAir Creator - In 2005 we introduced the Creator. It visually looks similar to the 'Sasem', but the 'Philips' tuner is replaced with an 'LG 5th gen' tuner. (If you look around, the LG 5th gen is the best tuner around! You'll find it in $2000 HDTVs.) In addition to the major tuner upgrade, we also decided to include a license for the nVidia PureVideo Decoder... one of the best decoders in the industry. It provides a great looking picture on your PC / laptop, and allows for 5.1 surround audio. The Creator is powered by wall (AC) adapter, and includes a 'hardware encoder', which takes the load off your CPU when viewing Analog TV. OnAir GT - Introduced in 2006, the GT is our 'portable' tuner. It uses a 'software encoder', so the power requirements are lower. It is USB-powered, and comes with a 'whip' antenna. It contains the 5th gen LG tuner (same as the Creator), and also has the license for the nVidia PureVideo Decoder.Essentially, the GT should fit most needs. (It is our most popular and least expensive HDTV tuner for the computer.) You may want to consider the 'OnAir Creator' if you intend on doing a lot of Analog TV stuff, because it has the built-in hardware encoder. The 'OnAir Sasem' is more of a 'legacy' product. (Most customers opt for the GT or Creator). I sound like a salesperson... but you can feel free to read the 'AVS Forum' thread for some unbiased customer experiences: http://avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=695589 Thanks. I'm open to any other questions from anyone :) (If you're shy, feel free to Private Message me, too.) - Ryan Pertusio AutumnWave Technical Support OnAir Solution North America

Hi gitarzan (and everyone else)! If you are looking to get unencrypted QAM channels, there is no complete channel listing. (Cable companies often refuse to provide such a list.) However, a popular place to look is the AVS Forum. I can't post links yet, so you'll have to copy/paste this one: http://avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=453241 gitarzan, Lexington KY is listed as #63 currently on that page. A few members of that forum indicate that your local channels should be receivable unencrypted. (Typically that would include NBC, CBS, ABC, PBS, FOX, etc.) FYI, The best place to look for Digital TV (over-the-air, using an antenna) is AntennaWeb: http://antennaweb.org -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- AbitaMan, Satellite is a completely different technology, and the OnAir GT is not designed to receive satellite signals (nor can it be adapted to receive them.) The most you can do is to connect a cable from your satellite box to the GT, and tune our software to channel 3 or 4 (much like you would for a regular Analog TV.) The OnAir GT is designed to handle ATSC (digital tv) and NTSC (analog tv) that are being transmitted from TV towers in your area... OR to tune in QAM (Digital Cable) or Analog cable. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- I'll happily answer any more questions! I primarily do technical support for AutumnWave, but I can answer any other questions about our products, or HDTV technologies in general. Thanks! - Ryan Pertusio AutumnWave Technical Support OnAir Solution North America

Hi Brad & Scott! I am AutumnWave's Technology Manager (OnAir Solution, North America). I registered to the forum to answer your questions (and any others that people my have.) The OnAir GT does unencrypted digital cable, yes! That's in addition to Over-The-Air Digital TV, Over-the-Air Analog TV, and Analog Cable TV. Essentially, the GT is a device that you plug into a USB 2.0 port on your computer, and you can watch Digital/Analog TV. No subscriptions, no fees (other than if you already subscribe to cable.) I'd be happy to answer any other questions! (I do a lot of support on forums) - Ryan Pertusio AutumnWave Technical Support OnAir Solution North America
