Thanks, I bought one :-)
I have it working partly now with ittv and V4L2. However, I'm having problems with setting controls (volume, brightness,...):
MyHost # ./test_ioctl -y brightness=0 ioctl: VIDIOC_S_CTRL ioctl: VIDIOC_S_CTRL failed
Since mplayer also uses this interface, I cannot use the following command:
mplayer -tv device=/dev/video0:driver=v4l2:input=4:freq=216000:normid=1 tv://
Note that "mplayer /dev/video0" works. I can also set frequencies and channels, so the V4L2 interface is working partly.
How did you get this working? Or is my V4L2/Ittv approach wrong?

Now I want to add TV recording (and maybe playing/time-shifting) to Freevo, so I need to buy a TV card for it. It must have h/w MPEG encoding since the VIA board is only 1GHz, but I'm not sure about the decoding part. Do I need to get an expensive Hauppage WinTV PVR-350 or will a PVR-250 do? Or is there a better option?
A PVR-250 will do fine. The difference between the 250 and 350 is that the 250 contains an encoder while the 350 has an encoder, decoder, and tv-out.
So, you already have tv-out and an mpeg2 decoder on your mainboard... although the cle266's mpeg decoder is only supported by closed source drivers. Also the decoder which is present on the 350 is not fully supported yet either but the open source ivtv project is well on its way.
The M10K mainboard will be fine for recording tv and watching tv and video, even dvds. I have all these things working well on a friend's M10K (with a PVR-250) and I am vey pleased with the results.
