Hi,
I would say that you need to know what chips are on that board to know
if it works. From the small amount of info I found, its using a NEC PD
61xx chip for the encoder
(http://www.tv-cards.com/messageboard/viewtopic.php?p=24439). I dont
know, but Im sure you can research it and find out if its supported by
any of the current drivers our there. I imagine, if its a new(er) card
that there is little or no support for it yet. Are the Happauge WinTV
PVR 2/350s that much more than this one? If not, Id just get one of
them since they are known to work with Linux.
