Hi.

If the card's based on a brooktree 8x8 or 8x9 chip, then it's supported. You'll just need xawtv to watch TV (That's also probably on ypur system already)

Hi again.

The driver's here (if it's the right chip):

You'll still need xawtv (as mentioned, you've probably already got that), and you might have to create a device in /dev for it.
