There is a driver for a simple (very cheap) TV tuner card on Sunsite. I have such a bugger (about $50) in my PC @ home as cable TV. There is no PiP, you have either TV picture or video screen, no Frame grabber or stuff. Just a computer controlled TV. The card was a surplus item, I'm not sure if you can still buy it. The driver is called vt-1500something, it was written by some german. The driver is completely Userspace, no Kernel stuff required.
I like it, the card is nice (though full length, aagh, I had to insulate one of the voltage regulator coolers on my Tyan Tomcat) but it is no frame grabber or stuff.
Ciao Henning
