I am looking for a economic Card that is linux compatible, that has an

if there was a card with not video out, so much the better, as I want to
install up to three separate video cards(or one or two cards with
multiple video in sources).
Any recomendations would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance

FWIW we are currently using Terratec TerraTValue PCITV to build our
systems. It has TV *and* composite input (all cards I have seen do, but
I'm in this game since 1 year only!), and is supported by the Linux V4l
BTTV driver. No video out. BTAUDIO is supposed to work but I cant make it.
However, be aware that more than 1 capture card can tax your PCI bus:
25x704x576x1.5 bytes per second per card. One card will normally work
without problem, two is the limit for a 33MHz PCI bus, 3 are unlikely to
work. A card with switchable inputs is good only for a few frames per
second.
