Not really; many of the DVB cards use BT878 or CX2388x chips as the PCI
interface, which give them analog video capture for free.


As indeed mine has (it's a BT878), but they leave off the connecting circuitry and input hardware to save money on a budget card.


However they don't include analog tuners, so only svideo/composite
capture is possible. And for some cards the Linux dvb drivers does not
support analog capture.
I see, that's a problem then. Maybe not worth trying to enable the analog inputs on mine then. Better off with a cheap analog card that includes the tuner as well, and use a tried and true driver setup.
