For capture: Hauppauge WinTV FM/Stereo (using a BT878 or equiv).
For display: Geforce2MX with TV-out (using a BT869).
While NVidia has closed source drivers, they are reliable and work.
Also nvtv allow adjusting the overscan/undercan/placement/options of the
TV-out. While many cards come with TV-out the only ones that are
adjustable are the ones supported by nvtv (ie Voodoo3/bt869 and NVidia's).
Also you want a bt869 on the NVidia/Voodoo3 since the Chrontel equivalent
is not nearly as flexible.
The problem with the ATI All-in-Wonder is support of TV-out & capture
requires GATOS. TV-out under ATI is not supported basically by ATI
(Macrovision IP problems).
