This card has been used in Zoneminder video surveillance systems and therefore proven for use in Linux systems.
It comes with a LiveCD for support.
Note that there is no TV capability for this card -- it is meant to be used with analog security cameras with BNC or RCA connectors.
Setup
I recommend you start here: [ht tp://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Analog_cameras]
I currently only have (1) camera, so will have to experiment by either moving the camera to a different input port on the capture card's dongle, or by getting a second camera. Either way, if you go to the "Surveillance Cameras" option in the web-admin you will presented with the analog cameras you added following the above instructions. Pay attention to the Device number (first box in the top right). My PV-149 added /dev/video1 through /dev/video4 to my core. For me, then, a camera connected to input 1 on the PV-149 would have the value of "1" as the Device number. I will have to experiment with another camera. The above instructions indicate that with each camera, you would increment the Port/Channel Number. I do not know if that is applicable with this capture card. My camera has "0" as the Port/Channel Number.
Usage
It is plug and play with the mentioned Linux kernels.
Price
Approximately $140.
