Well, I have a Hauppauge WinTV card, and it's not without it's problems. I'm running 2.2.7-Release and while the kernel finds the card just great, the TX app (FXTV) only seems to update the TV picture when some other graphics are overlapping it. For example, if I move the corner of another window (eg. an xterm) so that it overlaps a small part of the TV window, then it works fine. As soon as nothing overlaps the TV window, the TV picture freezes. It may be because I only have a crappy Stealth64. I remember the windows95 drivers reporting that this card only works in 'primary' mode, and not buffered mode, or something similar, so It may just be my card, and not entirely FXTV's fault.
