Hi v4l specialists, I'm looking for a TV/Radio card which works under Linux (RedHat 7.0) and would be willing to install kernel 2.4 if necessary. I've seen an Anubis/Typhoon card which is called TV Tuner RDS (www.typhoonline.com). It has stereo TV and stereo Radio for a very low price. Looking in the 2.4 sources and the latest v4l source, I saw that there is a card Typhoon TView RDS / FM stereo tuner supported under number 53 (I think). My questions are the following: 1. So it seems to be supported. Does this mean that TV is supported in stereo? 2. Does that mean that the radio is supported too? And radio also in stereo? I ask especially the second question because the RDS radio tuner seems to be based upon some curious new technology, since I saw RDS support nowhere on the sites of the well known manufacturers like Pinnacle or Hauppage. 3. I've seen some things about cards which need special graphic chips to be able to work because they do their scaling by the graphics card instead of the tV card itself. I've a i740 card with 8mb mem. Any information about whether this will work with the Typhoon card? Finally: is it reasonable to try the Typhoon card, or is the best choice to buy some of the standard products of Pinnacle or Hauppage? Am I going into _big_ trouble when trying the less well known one of Typhoon? If so, which card would you recommend instead? Thanks in advance for your answers, Maarten Wisse
