Hm. I see a ViXS chip on that thing. Zero Linux support for those as of
yet, so far as I know. Unless one of you Hauppauge guys has got a private
branch you're about to make public. :)

Somewhere around the house, I've actually got a PCI HDTV tuner card that
has a ViXS chipset. Poked at it a bit a few years ago, then forgot about
it, and its sat in a box since. ViXS was rather non-Linux-friendly back
then, but here's hoping that's changed, and/or someone has or will be
able to reverse-engineer a driver...
