I can attest to this card working fine.  I have one installed in my system.  
Just compile the support in, and install xawtv (and some radio app, I don't use
mine for radio so I can't tell you about that part)

This is in the USA, mind you.  I can't attest to non-NTSC formats :P

This might work - just check the decoder chip that the card contains, if it is on 
the supported list for video4linux, you should be fine.
