My word of warning - I looked at building a PVR a year (well more
than, now) ago, and bought what I thought would work - a Hauppage
Nova-T; unfortunately, Hauppage had changed the chipset used very
recently, and hadn't made this clear on the packaging - so what should
have worked out of the box, definately didn't - and didn't even with
kernel patching.

However, some time later, I tried the card under Windows, and it
didn't work their either; but I've no idea if / how / when it died.

It did however take some time for support to be in the kernel and distributions.

David.
