If you can try to get one on that chipset. I have a Hauppauge WinTv from about 5 years ago, just plugged it in, installed the tv viewer and worked right away. IMO the best viewer is tvtime becuase of the deinterlacing, the quality of the picture is superb, far better than the software that comes with any tvcard.
