[lug] Video card for viewing cable

[Subba Rao]

Hi,

I am new to the Video on Linux area. Is there an FAQ for this field?
My plans on Linux is to add the capability to view video(VCR) and TV/cable.
Is there a recommended Video card that I should invest in? What are the video   
cards that I need to avoid? My current kernel is 2.2.16.
 
Any information to get Video on Linux to work is appreciated.
 
Thank you in advance.
