There are two versions of this card in circulation.  The one that I have uses 
teh Zoran 36120 chip and its linux kernel driver seems to be broken.  You may 
be able to get it working with on old 2.4 series kernel (say 2.4.8 or so).  I 
didn't try.  This is the "official" version of this card

There is an also an OEM version that is unsupported by Aitech.  I believe that 
it uses the bt878 chip, so it will probably work with linux, this with 
mythtv.

The way to tell is to count the large chips on the card.  If it has two, then 
its a zoran based one that with a broken linux driver.  If it has one, then 
its a bt878, and should/could work.
