Actually - no. ever since I moved to a new appartment (about 5 months
ago) I have a big screen TV, so I don't need the TV card anymore :-) it
sits in my "computer stuff and other assorted electronics and cabling
stuff" cabinet inside an anti-static plastic bag which sits in a discarded
ISDN card box. anyone interested in a TV tuner card with capture, a decent
and linux supported frame grabber and tuner, but unsupported sound chip
and no remote control ? I ain't carging :-)
