-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Myth may or may not work for you then. I do not believe that the bt8xx chipsets do hardware encoding. What this means is that the heavy lifting is done by your CPU instead of the capture card (as in the PVR line of happauge cards). You may have less than stellar performance on your older computer as a result.
- From the command line: aptitude search tv There are a lot of packages for watching TV.
