Re: usb tv card

Hello,
is there any tv card which connects by USB (or firewire, that doesn't
really matter to me), which will work with debian (or linux in general).
I did some google searchwork on this topic, but couldn't really find
anything (so maybe, it just isn't supported).
I don't know if this is much help. I guess this is more of a warning
than anything:
In December I bought a Hauppauge WinTV PVR USB2. I had seen a driver on
the web before my purchase:

I tried for awhile to get it going, but then got busy and didn't finish.
So, I don't have it working yet.
Just now while getting this info for you I found a user page detailing
how to get it going. It states that one must use xawtv-4, but I was
using v3. So, maybe that's my problem and there is still hope:

I actually bought this device to record stereo FM radio in a cron job. I
hadn't done enough research - there is no radio driver yet. Not only
that, Hauppauge doesn't even supply a Windows program to record the
radio, but you can buy one for an extra $10 from their website. However,
this program does not have a timer feature for recording: you just click
record/stop and that's it.
