Yes, but you need to make a change to ensure that it works in real-time. Open Regedit and go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Hauppauge\hcwTVWnd and set LivePreview to 1. You also need to make sure that you have the correct type of cable. Usually, you will need an adapter which gives you a Composite (yellow phono plug) for video and two Audio plugs (red and white). If you have the MCE version of the card these will just connect to the relevant coloured socket. If you have the retail card, you will need a phono to minijack adapter for the audio." from: http://www.hauppauge.co.uk/board/showthread.php?t=5613 ok... now how do we do that in linux? I'm guessing through ivtvctl, but I have yet to figure out the right option... J.O.
