Hello list,

I'm thinking about building another Myth box, and letting some members 
of the family try it out. In the process of looking for a video card, I 
stumbled across these.

MSI nVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 Video Card, 128MB DDR, CATV/Breakout Box 
Port, 8X AGP, Model "TV5200-VTDF128" w/REMOTE -RETAIL

Port, 8X AGP, Model "FX5200 Personal Cinema(PC5200-VT128)" -RETAIL

Has any one got one working in MythTV, or even Linux? I'm not sure of 
the chipset the tuner uses. I believe it's made by Nvidia, maybe a linux 
driver wouldn't be that hard to get out of them (judging by the linux 
driver support they provide for their GPU's)

Thanks for reading.
