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:

the pvrusb2 project seams like a good idea to me, but I think it's not
very active anymore. Last update late 2004, so.......
I'll sure look further into it. Good tip, thanx!
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.
Yeah, well. What can I say. I've used the Hauppage software, and it
really sucks.......
