Nice article. I am guessing that the driver is part of the kernel and
only the firmware needs to be downloaded. The Hauppauge website mentions
the following comes with the card: "an A/V breakout cable for the
primary A/V input, an auxiliary A/V panel and cable to add a second set
of audio/video inputs". Does it mean i get two composite inputs out of
the box and dont have to buy a second daughter card?
I remember having to buy a daughter card like the following for WinTV
500, http://www.erodov.com/forums/attachments/dsc01140.jpg-11628d1301980816

Does the FM radio work on this card?

Are these new models supported in MythTV?

Thanks for your help.
