Caveat emptor. An older bt8x8-based WinTV Go card works well. The latest 
cx88-based WinTV Go card not so well. Most new capture cards on the market 
use a cx2388x chipset, which isn't so well supported yet. Conexant bought 
Brooktree (the bt8x8 chipset maker), and has since phased out those chipsets 
in favor of cx2388x chipsets. Many cards still ship with the same name, but a 
different chipset.
