It has a good tv tuning (but I recommend using an external antenna or a cable, because in my box the image is not very good , because of interference caused by my computer). The capture is good , but in linux it didnt work very well @640x480.. The resulting file had too many dropped frames , while the same capture at the same resolution when made using windows had only 3 dropped frames.. (and I stopped all services and was using window maker , just to make sure that my CPU was almost 100% available to the capture process). I dont remmember now if this card has tv-out , but almost any video card has this feature these days ( specially ATI and Nvidia based cards). -- Pedro Macedo
