You'll have to read the spec sheets (or the box) and look for these chipsets when you make your purchase. I personally own a card from Miro, based on the 848. It works well, and I can email you the model number if you need it. For more information on TV Tuner cards, check out the FXTV web page: http://www.ipass.net/~dbhopper/aa8vb/fxtv/ You'll may need to add a bktr config option to your kernel to support it, read the LINT config file for more details.
