The main differeces are our support for the TV Tuner and the Audio from the TV Tuner. For some cards, you'll get no audio at all from the TV Tuner because we do not know the specific details of the hardware on the card. However, the card I would recomend right now would be one from Hauppauge. I hate to recommend one brand over the other, but I like Hauppauge cards because.... a) I have direct email to Hauppauge engineers who supply me with all the technical specs I need. b) For those of us that Dual Boot, they always have good Win 95,98 and NT drivers > Some general performance estimates (fps / resolution) for On FreeBSD with XFree86, you can expect the full 25fps (PAL) 768x576 or 30fps (NTSC) 640x480.
