I have a Hauppage! WinTV USB adapter which uses a usbvision chip. It works
but has some details. The usbvision linux driver isn't in the kernel and
isn't very mature yet.
The adapter works only with xawtv, i couldn't make it work with tvtime nor
xawdecode and it only works with low framerate (8fps) because higher
frame rates use some propietary compression protocol.
As you could guess, my advice is that you stay away from adapters based on
the usbvision chip.
