 |I would like to know whether Mercury TV Tvuner card is working in Linux?

I went shopping with a friend for a TV tuner card and I didn't like the
mercury one.. coz they have put a sticker of somekind on the tuner (don't
see any reason why they should do that unless they have something to hide)
and wasn't too impressed with the kit in anycase.(finishing was not good)

We ended up buying a PixelView one... which came with drivers for Win98SE
, ME and win2k only !! ... and it didn't work on his win98 machine !!
and best of all it didn't work even when he upgraded to win98SE !!

He's currently using it under BeOS (works out of the Box !)

The pixelview one has a philips TUNER and a bt878+ chip (not so sure of
the plus though ... can get more details from him if needed)
