Unbelievable! Yet its chips Zarlink ZL10353 (http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index. php/Zarlink_ZL10353) and Microtune MT2060 (http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index. php/Microtune_MT2060) are supported (http://www.linuxtv. org/downloads/drivers/linux-media-LATEST.tar.bz2)! So, what is missing? Probably this is the reason why Linux is not so widespread: LACK OF DRIVERS! And this is the reason why a lot of users cannot migrate to Linux and are forced to use that stupid O.S. called Win****! If anyone wants to have a look at Windows' drivers and is able to develop drivers (I'm not), here are the drivers: ftp://ftp.pctvsystems.com/TV/driver/PCTV%202000i/PCTV%20250i%202000i.zip Sorry for the outburst. A user wishing to migrate to Linux.
