what's a TV box? do you mean a tv card? in which case any brooktree 878 based card should be absolutely fine.

TV box is out of computer and Tv card is in computer.

Notebook can not use TV card and must use TV box.

Yeah,lots of TV cards are based on BT 8x8 video chip, but how about TV box? It seemed that no product use BT 8x8, at least I found not

May be some one know it?

Thanks !

It still depends on what you mean by 'TV Box'. If it is TV input into a 'blackbox' and into the computer through a USB cable, then you might like to look at the Hauppage WinTV-USB devices - they seem to be supported under Video4Linux.
