These are supported in linux but not by the ivtv driver. Ivtv only supports cards based on the CX23415/CX23416 chip from conexant. Check the supported hardware page for more info which are supported. > And now the questions: > > 1.- What card do you recommend me for correct Linux working, not > forgiving that composite video mpeg hardware encoding is my first > target? Anything from the supported hardware page works with the ivtv driver. Depending on your need a Haupauge Wintv PVR 150 and a PVR-350 if you also want a decoder with tv-out. > 2.- Can my old CPU gives any problem?

Nope not supported at all. The HVR uses a new chip CX23418 and this is not supported in linux.
