“Wouldn’t it be nice to sit at your Linux machine and have a
crisp little color TV screen right there in one of your desktop

The hardware requirements, at $20 for a TV card after rebates, are
pretty modest, and the payoff is a lot of fun…“Obviously, you can put a TV card in a more current desktop
machine and be quite happy. I’ve found that the main factors
influencing performance are video memory, followed by main memory.
Increasing video memory allows for a larger TV window on the screen
and better picture quality…”
