I agree with you, but news is news ... <grin>

Well, I have 2 cards here with TV out, not that the current plan is to 
have/use it, but it might be handy one day, who knows. <grin>

mce ones?

Onboard is all I currently have ...

For some unkown reason, the BTTV driver seems to think it is a NTSC tuner=21, 
and does not want to reset to any of the pal-i tuners I have tried telling it 
to use, still got a few more to try, then I don't know ...

bttv card=46 gives me sound, channels can be changed, sound works, pictures 
are black and white ...

Here I get

No /proc/pci here ....

Takes up a lot more space than a tuner card. <VBG>
