I recently sent the following to NVIDIA:

"NVIDIA has always had excellent driver support for Linux. When will we see 
Linux drivers for the DualTV cards?"

The response was:

"Thank you for contacting us. Sorry. We are not planning on supporting DualTV 
in Linux at this time. Only WinXP MCE is supported for now.  Best regards,  
NVIDIA Customer Care"

This is really too bad. I think they've grossly underestimated the user base 
of Linux PVRs like MythTV. I've seen some samples of this card in action that 
look quite a bit better on crappy cable signals than the Hauppauge cards. It 
seems to do an excellent job boosting the signal and cleaning it up. But oh 
well - I'm off to buy a PVR-500 this weekend since I can't wait forever.
