I assume it is. I had help from various people in my very long 
newsgroup/usenet forum thread in 
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.os.linux.hardware/browse_frm/thread/eced1d3cf6497abf 
... Check those out. See what we did and tried. We failed to make xawtv 
work with it. We THINK we got the drivers working based on dmesg 
results, but we don't get any video (only blue color) or audio.

Wow, this one is old too. What's up with these very old programs? :( Is 
TV tuner and capture cards not popular in Linux? :(

Anyways, I downloaded tvtime v1.0.2-6.1 from apt-get, with 48 other new 
packages. I see my TV/capture card is supported according to 
http://tvtime.sourceforge.net/cards.html#cx88 ... I have never done any 
TV and video capture cards. I am mainly interested in the video 
capturing from my VCR and other video sources. I don't care for the TV 
stuff since I have HDTV tuner cards in my Windows box (had no problems 
with my ASUS TV tuner/capture card).

Thanks. :)
