	My comments below relate to the posting referenced above and my own direct 
experiences only.   

	I looked at this, but there is no definition of what is not supported.  There 
obvious is -some- support through standard kernel modules, because I can get 
a picture when using XawTV - not a good picture at present, but a picture.  I 
have had sound from this card under Linux before also.

	To see this posting say the card is not supported, at least not without 
qualification of the answer, doesn't seem quite right.  To me, when somebody 
says "it is not supported", it means NO part of it is supported.  This 
clearly is not the case for the model 880 WinTV/PVR card.

	If the PVR portions of the card are not supported, then I have no more reason 
to deal with this older model 880 and will hold off on MythTV until I can get 
a PVR/350.  This is the entire question I am trying to answer right now, 
without success.  The hardware of the model 880 seems to be plenty good 
enough to deserve proper support.

	Maybe it's time for me to just shove MythTV and such to the sidelines until I 
get one of the newer and better supported PVR capable cards.
