Yes, I have a BT878-based Pinnacle PCTV Studio/Rage. Thanks for the tip about Kino. I've looked it over as part of my search for a video editting app but set it aside for the time being because it needs Gnome and my distro (Peanut Linux) comes with KDE and Enlightenment. I looked into building Gnome but unearthed such a long dependency chain, that I was put off. I have a spare partition though, so I might install a recent Red Hat or Mandrake and build Kino under that. Cheers, Chris
