That's the card I bought (and just asked about!). It's supposed to work
with ivtv (ivtv.sourceforge.net) not bttv. BTW, many cards that used to
have the bttv chipset now have a new connexant chipset which is very
poorly supported. AFAIK, there is almost no way of knowing which cards
have which, because some of them still say they have the bttv chipset, so
you are probably best off sticking with the hauppage (not that I've gotten
mine to work or anything....)
