Hauppauge PVR 250/350 {Using H/W mpeg2} are supported.
I have an AverMedia PCI 350 and it is supported in FC3 by v4l. I
just bought a Hauppauge PVR 250, but have not installed it yet.
One thing I haven't seemed to figure out yet is when setting
up "channels" on VLC it asks for the destination IP address.
Maybe I am just confused but I am used to having the client
connect to the server to get things, rather than as it would
seem the server must push the content to the client. Am I
brain dead or is that what it is doing.
