anything based on a bt878 / bt848 card should be fine. support is extremely generic and reliable under linux. just stay clear of things like the ATI all in wonder and other ott gubbins.

yes, definitely avoid ATI's TV Wonder line. I know and it hurts

I got one of thouse hauppage wintv cards (bt848) and it works just fine. I would like to get a better monitor though. Everything has a blue tint over it. BTW, thanks again acid_kewpie for helping me get that to work a few months back.
