Something I have been looking for is video capture and/or TV Tuner
capability in the U.S. and would buy whatever board/system supported these
under Linux, either in X, SVGA, or simply standalone (e.g. cat /dev/video
>movie.avi).

If there is some specific hardware, it would be the Nogatech PCMCIA
adapters (they have both tuner and video variants) so I could use them
with my laptop.
