I mean video capture from an external device with a built-in TV tuner. Just like what an internal PCI TV tuner card does. My problem is that I plan to upgrade to a mini-PC that appears not to have any expansion slots at all. So what I need is an external TV tuner and capture device. > Never gonna happen.

Never gonna happen. USB has too much latency to be anything more than a cheap hack (when regards to video). Firewire is designed for this kind of streaming lots of data with very low latency, so that's what people like the developer of kino are using. For stand-alone connect-the-TV-to-the-PC situations, the Hauppauge PVR-150 is what you are looking for.

USB2 Video/TV capture?
Has anybody managed to get any brand of a video or TV capture device connected via USB2 to work under Debian? The first result I got on a Google search for "linux video usb2 capture" is a link to somebody's Linux *in*compatibility list. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
