That info is shown on the Linux installlation instructions page (towards the bottom), but it can't hurt to duplicate it. The only links I know about are the ones listed there, though.

Yes that would work but ideally you want those jobs running on a box that's always up. Thinking aloud here, I wonder if Show Analyser works under WINE? Then maybe use a cron job to run a script to replace DirMon...Geez I wish I could get a trial version. Maybe Sage could comp a copy to users who already have 2 or 3 licences for evaluation (like me)

If there are reasonably good Linux drivers, how much work is necessary to add support? Anything I can do to speed the process along? (I have a pair of HD3000 cards.)

Same question for me, have a few HD3000's coming to be able to do QAM tuning/recording, at least in MythTV for now. Would like to makes these network encoders for SageTV if possible, or at least natively supported.
