Thanks for that Barry, it seems Terratec Cinergy Piranha was indeed discontinued, as I cant find it in shops anywhere? It's still on the web site (http://www.terratec.net/en/products/Cinergy_Piranha_1668.html) EyeTV even has built-in support for it : http://forums.mactalk.com.au/11/32929-eyetv-2-5-1-a.html But on Terratec site, there is no mention of Linux drivers for this product. Shame. I would be happy with that one. Anyone else know of something equivalent that works on Linux?
