[ale] tv capture card for linux?

[ale at FultonGreen.com (Fulton Green)]

Where's the v4l archive? That's something I'd like to follow up on.

IIRC, some of the later WinTV cards are using onboard MPEG-2 compression
specifically for PVR-like capability. Maybe that's using an unsupported
chip ... ?

And there may be a list somewhere out in Googleville that tells which WinTV
cards have which chipset.
