I did my own research way back when. I first found out what I could about TV cards in general. I found what chipsets were used most often. I then looked in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/media/video to see what modules were there and what chipsets were represented. At that time the best supported chipsets that were also easy to obtain in Taiwan were Bt8XX. So, I went out and bought that and everything worked just fine. I still use that in my RHELv4 system with xdtv. The info is out there. It may not exist on this list. :-)
