Mine works in mythtv. Hopefully they have not changed the specs/chipsets.

I've found that tradepc do a good price -
http://www.tradepc.co.nz/prodtype.asp?PT_ID=241&strPageHistory=cat
But then I'm in CHCH so I can just drive round to pick it up :-)

I'm running the retail 150mce so I've got the remote with the USB receiver
and it goes really well on the ivtv-0.4.0 drivers (even the FM radio). I'd
recommend the remote for WAF as it allows jump points to music, gallery,
recorded TV, DVD etc.

Cheers

It works fine with MythTV, it's the 2nd card in my box.

getting my current TV Card to work with Linux at all.

It's a Pinnacle PCTV Stereo which is based on the Philips saa7134 chip
(from memory, it's not handy at the moment)

I have a SAA7134 based card that works fine - mine's a lifeview prime 34
from memory again.

It works in mythtv, but the machine lacked the power to run it - software
encoder etc.

So now I use that as part of another machine, doing other non-myth stuff
(but still on a linux box)

Those Pinnacle cards have several designs selling as the same model.
Some of them have bt878 chips, some have saa7134. They've also changed
the tuner unit. Compare:
http://www.dolda2000.com/~fredrik/lf/tv-kort-2.jpg (old style tuner
unit with the chunky metal shield) and
http://www.dolda2000.com/~fredrik/lf/tv-kort.jpg
I suspect that new tuner unit is a "silicon" tuner. So far there are
no linux drivers for silicon tuners as no-one has released specs. I
almost got caught out with a DSE TV tuner card (this one:
http://www.dse.co.nz/cgi-bin/dse.storefront/en/product/XH6861) with a
SAA7134 that has a silicon tuner. In my case I returned the card to
DSE because the box claimed it was Linux compatible when it wasn't.
