I recently purchased a USB HD device from Amazon.com (Hauppauge). As I looked around, some devices claimed to be linux-friendly (like the one I got). I then began to wonder what makes the device linux-friendly if its sole function is as a tv tuner. I know a device driver would need to talk to it. I then wondered if any usb tv tuner device might work? Kind of line "Windows" and "Mac" friendly for some peripherals only if they include software for those platforms, but if I have software that can do the same, I can sometimes make something "Mac"-only work on a PC, and vice-versa. Thanks for insights on the USB tuners. Can they really all work with Linux, or is there more I don't know?
