Hello!
I want to buy a DVB-T card Gentoo compatible and I need a S-Video input 
too.
I searched a lot by Internet but I found only few news... (no info about 
S-Video input or if it works)
I don't want to pay much (under 150 €), has someone a card like that?
Thanks a lot,
Luigi

I've never seen one.  But there are a couple of options -

	Get a DV cam and use it for S-Video input through firewire (much more than
		your willing to pay).
	Get a used SGI Indy off E-bay or other source, put Gentoo MIPS on it.  They
	have the VINO (Video In/Out) card working with a few patches to the kernel.
	Cost - US$75 to US$300, plus shipping.

I don't think that it is a good idea: if I must acquire from an analog 
camcorder, I don't think that the double passage (from analog to 
digital and after acquire) can be a good compromise: the acquiring (and 
the DV camera with S-Video input are very expensive) is in real time. 
That means to use 2 hours to have a 1 hour video (ok that you can save 
the DV cassettes easier than dv Super 8 but...).
The encoding of the DV camera cannot be good as a computer encoding 
(that has more power).
I found a list of the TV cards (I need it to look TV too) in Internet 
and yesterday I said one of them in a shop (I didn't know who it was 
Linux compatible).

Thanks a lot in every case,
Luigi
