I did write there, but I don't see any Linux posts around there. So the Big 
Question on Linux PCI stays unresolved :( I don't want to buy them blind.

No luck in linux-dvb either. Google brings up some "patches" for some cards 
but no idea whether any are in the stock kernels. 

Where should I go next? LKML?
