this article I want to show you a few things you can do with a $50 TV card under
Linux. This article expects you to know how to compile the kernel, and how to
install general application on Linux. I will not get into too much detail, but
for each section there are plenty of documentation available on the web for you
to study and learn. <O:P>

last week I had a blast setting up a Pinnacle Studio PCTV on my Linux box. You
can get this TV Card for about $50 on most online computer stores. <O:P>

</span>To get mine running I basically, plug the Video output of my Sega
DreamCast<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp; </span>into my Composite Plug on
the back of my TV card, and I went to Radio Shack and paid $2 for a adaptor that
allows to plug my Audio (L/R) output of my DreamCast directly into the Line-In
plug of my sound card. The reason I did it that way? It saved me $20, this way I
don't have to buy Sega's RF Adaptor. You are also welcome to just plug in a VCR
into your TV card, and your DreamCast into the VCR.<O:P>
