Saa713x devices

Introduction

TV cards based on the saa713x chips are well supported. The picture quality is typically high, and the sound can be taken directly from the TV card or through a patch cable to your sound card. On the text capture front, teletext is supported. Support for NTSC closed captioning has been completed by Michael Schimek but is not yet merged.
