Hi, sorry if this isn't very helpful, but none of the images I have been 
able to find have been very large. I searched Google and Google images 
without very much luck - and as I don't have a digital camera of any 
kind sending high res images on my own is not likely to be easy.

But in any case here is the manufacturer's site giving full details 
about the card:

http://www.comprousa.com/New/en/product/vmt200a.html

There has been a lot of chat on the mailing list in the past about this 
card it seems - but I am unclear as to whether or not anyone has 
succeded yet in actually getting it working.

Apparrently the card is Media Center and HDTV compatable.

Any input on how to get this card working would be very much welcomed - 
as TBH I much prefer watching TV in Linux as it is a lot more flexible 
and usable than it's MS Windows counterpart can ever hope to be. I also 
plan to use the card in an exclusive Linux only PVR system that I am 
currently building.
