I have a PIII 800 with RedHat 7.3 . It was simple to watch TV with the
card. You just fire up xawtv, the card was recognized just immediately.
Recording was a little tougher. I installed nvrec. That was a little bit
of a challange to set up. My PC seemed to be fast enough to record. If
bumped the quality up to 100%, it would start to get choppy.
The quality is ok, but not perfect.
