I've got a going on about three years old WinTV Go that works fine
(and thanks to whomever mentioned setting the resolution to 352x480,
that knocked about 20% CPU usage off for mpeg4 for me).


At any rate, about my card lspci -v sez . . .

It's probably your video card that's the problem as far as lack of Xv
support goes rather than the WinTV card.
