I spent a good part of the day looking for a low priced card and then tried to
find out what chipset they used. Boy! is that a waste of time. I was unable to
find what chip was used so I am still looking around. I did see some that were
called win tv cards. Does this mean they are like the winmodems? They only work
with Windoze?
I see some that are under $50.00 US and that would fit my pocket book but I
have small pocket and can't afford to waste.
