This looked really cool until I did a little research and found this on
the Hauppauge web site:
"/Record analog TV shows to your PC's hard disk using our SoftPVR™
MPEG-2 encoder./"
As the Hauppauge device uses the same chip, you're going to be no joy on
getting analog TV. It appears to be an analog capture card and a ATSC
passthrough. The poster at the link below said he could not get analog
capture to work under Linux
