I get 2-3 e-mails per year asking for support for this card.

It might be possible to get the analog video stuff working for it 
(saa7114+saa7146), ie. you can use the card as a video-in capture card, 
but without detailed informations on how the card internally works, it's 
IMHO impossible to get it fully working.

Additionally, you could reverse engineer the setting from the Windows 
driver, but that's a job I don't do anymore...

Perhaps Pinnacle can give you a clear statement wheter they support 
Linux or not.

CU
Michael.
