Do you know where in Belgium can I reliably buy TV Cards. I've gone to FNAC, where they have Hercules, Pinnacle and Hauppage, however they refuse to let me check the chipset in advance. (I had to return the WinTV GO I bought there) Do you know any good online belgian retailer? Thanks for your feedback! Carlos P.S. I checked peaktime.be and I was very impressed. Specially the truetime software, the tvtimes service, and the fact that you are a GNU/Linux shop (gnu emacs, linux, apache, python, Debian), as well as the use of Eifell.
