I tried out the device a few months ago and hit the same results. The maximum capture resolution is 320x200 so it won't work for tvtime, and I did hit intermittent segfaults with other apps. Note that zapping will not work since the device does not have an onboard tuner. It only has composite and s-video inputs. The chipset in question does have support for 640x480, but the driver never had the support added. The device is pretty ancient so I didn't have the time to invest in cleaning up all the bugs I found (and newer USB2 based devices are so cheap I didn't think it was worth the effort).
