Re: [OT] anyone got a TV card for sale?



It appears from the Trust site that this card is based around the BT878
chipset so it should work with any Linux application that uses the bttv.o
driver.

The only downsides I think are it seems to be limited to 320x240 and I
think
only has one capture device on board so the more cameras you put on the
slower the frame rate.

Other than that it looks like it should work!

Phil,
