Bear in mind that it only has S-Video and composite inputs - it does not have a tuner. Also, the audio feed comes through the external cable, so you need to hook that to the line-in on your soundcard. It also doesn't have an IR receiver or blaster, so not well suited for controlling a cable box. One more warning: they just released a new version of the product which uses a different chip. As a result, if you haven't bought it yet you might end up with the new version, which *is* supported in the latest v4l-dvb tree, but that support was introduced after Ubuntu 9.10 took the kernel. In other words, it's all about what you intend to do with the product. Devin -- Devin J.
