[mythtv] bttv or v4l?

[IvanK.]

RTFM.

I have to reply to myself after seeing the requirements section on the

A TV card. Can't really watch TV without one, right? Pretty much anything that 
works with V4L should be fine.

End of quote.

Ok, I guess it should work.  I'll try it then.

Thanks,
IvanK.
