[mythtv-users] Nvidia FX 5200 Personal Cinema and Mythtv

[Corey Woodworth]

You shouldn't have any troubles with the video card itself, but AFAIK 
these cards use a Philips SAA7133 tuner chip which is not supported 
under linux.  Bear in mind I've  not tested this, I just can't find any 
mention of Philips SAA7133 drivers anywhere. Its a shame because I'd 
really like a 2nd video tuner for PIP and a personal cinema card would 
spare me a PCI slot.
