I'm hoping to get a USB based tuner, but it looks like these are more
than $99 a piece.  I like the Linux compatible notion, but I worry
that it won't work in Windows.  I'm in a tight spot, I have a Windows
machine that I can't just run Linux on because it is meant for Windows
programs that don't work in Linux like Minitab for example.  On the
other hand, I want a tuner for this machine because there is no room
to drop in a small television.  I suppose I can dual boot the machine
to get around the needing Linux for the tuner issue, but if the tuner
is PCI based and causes a problem with Windows, I won't be able to
unplug it to run Windows.  I like the idea of being portable also as
this machine isn't in a good place for me to hook up my play station.
If the mentioned site had a USB 2 version that works in Linux and
Windows XP, that would be much more attractive.  I want a Linux
compatible tuner for this Linux based P4 desktop system I'm typing
up this email on that is also Windows XP compatible for the other
system.
