Asus HDTV USB Tuner Works with the Eee PC

Asus Eee owners now have access to a USB HDTV Tuner from Asus, with Linux drivers! It’s a requirement as the majority of Eee users run the pre-installed linux. The catch is: the My Cinema U3100 Mini tuner supports DVB-T & DMB-TH, two TV broadcast standards unsupported in the USA. At the moment, it has been reported that H.264 decoding is missing, which is a real problem with HDTV broadcasting... and that recording isn’t possible, which is probably OK, given the 2GB or 4GB of storage that the computer has. Finally, note that the Eee 7” display is not really “HD” anyways.
