      Last night, during a two-hour episode of Bachelor Pad, the Season 11 cast of Dancing with the Stars was announced. Leading up to the big news had been a slew of potential names that were more than lackluster. Some would even call it a nightmare, with only a couple of the rumored names appealing.

      The rumors included Mike ‘The Situation’ Sorrentino, NFL'er Kurt Warner, David Hasselhoff, Mel Gibson's ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva, Singer Brandy Norwood, Teresa Giudice (one of those real housewifes), Dirty Dancing's Jennifer Grey, Michael Bolton, Florence Henderson, Captain Sig Hansen of Deadliest Catch, and Kirstie Alley.

      DTVUSAForum moderator Trip found an article earlier this week which provides details on how to receive mobile dtv (also known as MDTV and ATSC-M/H) through an Hauppauge WinTV 850 or Hauppauge WinTV 950Q USB ATSC tuner and specific software developed by decontis. Although the software is shareware, it will allow users to test with it for up to 7 days on any PC with Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7 operating systems. After 7 days, you can purchase it for $11.99 USD.

      Update: DTVUSAForum contributor n2rj has tested the software on two different USB tuners with success: Hauppauge HVR 950q and Pinnacle PCTV 800e. N2rj has also provided pictures and feedback on the software.

      Note: Please be aware that to receive Mobile DTV signals, your local broadcasters must already be broadcasting ATSC-M/H signals. You can check here to see a map of mobile DTV signals possibly available in your area.
