FYI, I just picked up a WinTV card for $50 the day before yesterday from Fry's. I'm running the 2.6.0-test7 kernel. I modprobe'd the tuner, bttv, and i2c_via (I have a VIA chipset mainboard), then fired up xawtv, and I was up and running. I've got my mission videos ripping straight to DivX/MP3 streams in realtime for burning onto DVD-R's. mencoder is amazing. :-)
I can't speak for the Radeon cards. The Matrox g450 and g550 have drivers that can get framebuffer NTSC out. I've gotten marginal quality back in the day (the colors were a bit washed out), but now they are claiming that the quality is much improved. If you're into playing and capturing NTSC signals, a Matrox g450 and WinTV card may be the way to go. But if you want decent 3D acceleration, stick with the Radeon.

Does anyone out there have an ATI All In Wonder card that successfully lets you watch TV in Linux? I've got an AIW Radeon 7500 that I can't get it to be seen as a TV card at all. I've tried everything I could think of, but never got it to work. It's just one of the few reasons for not switching over to Linux as my primary desktop still.
But, I wouldn't mind buying a new video card, if I need to - I figure the newer ones might work okay under Linux, like the Radeon 9000, but I watned to see if anyone else has gotten it to work.
Thanks
