I have an AverTVstereo card in an RH 8 box with PentIV 1.6 Ghtz 512 meg mem. Works very well for video from USA Cox Cable system. I tried installing RH 9 but it floundered on the tvcard so I just went back to RH 8. I will try a bit later w/RH 9 and wonder if RH has any fixes for it. I use the xawtv driver. Warren
