I've been trying to figure out which camera + card combination will

I see, for example, that the Bt8x8 cards are popular, but what actual
products being sold are based on these cards? I can't seem to find any.
BT848 is a chip, not a card. Products don't say "based on Bt848" on the
outside, but many, many are.
If you download the bttv source code, or look at the source in a modern
kernel like 2.4.18, then you'll see
bttv-cards.c which has a whole list of cards based on those chips.
Another option is to go to a store and look
at a card you like. Get the sales person to show you the card (ie. take
it out of the box.)
It will likely have a chip that says "Conexant Fusion BT878A" on it,
which is a modern variant of Bt8x8's.
P.S. I have an ATI TV Wonder. It has an 878A. It doesn't work yet
(locks the machine up solid on modprobe.)
