This is true with the earlier Hauppage cards, but some of the later ones 
use an unsupported chipset.  There was a reference to this issue on the 
v4l list just this week.

I've got a wintv card that workes excellent but it has the earlier bt878 
card.

The big problem is that there's apparently no indication on the outside 
of the box that tells you the chipset used.

I didn't have to buy my radio from a specific company to listen
to FM, why doesn't that apply to the Internet (anymore...)?
