Hi. I'm looking a cheap video input PCI card, so I can watch TV in a window on my PowerMac 4400, while ircing, etc. I don't need anything expensive and fancy -- I even have an old VCR I can use to tune in stations from.
I understand that most bt848 cards are supported under the bttv driver, however I also have heard the drive has some have endianess issues on the PowerPC. ixMicro ixTV might be a possiblity, but getting one of those cards might be difficult (the only place I saw was on Ebay at an auction with bids currently highest at $13.50). I don't feel comfortable with Ebay, not to mention, I've head the ixTV isn't that great (then again, I don't know what they mean by quality -- all I am interested in a 320x240 (or so) window in 16 bbps). So specfically what card do you use for watching TV on PowerPC Linux? I am specfically interested in what cards have been used on PowerPC Linux and are known to work. Thank You for Your Time and Effort. Thanks. Andrew B. Arthur [EMAIL PROTECTED]
