I have a Voodoo3 3500 AGP TV card, does anyone know if I should be able to
watch TV with that card on Linux? I just assumed that since it used MS
WebTV it wouldn't work...

Jeff, as I've heard repeated on here so many times, and I've found it to be
very true:
"the only stupid question is one that is left unasked"
Or something like that! <smile>
Anyways, yes, you do have to have a TV-Tuner card. I use the Hauppage WinTV
model 401. I picked it up from BestBuy for $83. (other cards/brands do work,
however, you might want to check out the support list for specific models.
Basically-stick with Brooktree chips/Hauppage, etc, and avoid ATI) With this
card, I get cable TV and FM stereo radio. Its kind of a geek thing, as any
TV
kills it in size, and the radio won't pick up nearly as many stations as a
home
stereo, but it is just that "cool" factor... ;-))))
See ya later!
