I can indeed confirm what you are seeing. 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).

Hmm, ok that makes sense.
When you say that the device doesn't have an onboard tuner you mean that
the machine that it's attached to does the tuning? My card has S-Video,
RCA and Co-Ax inputs....
I think to be honest about the newer models that they are priced
similarly?? I just checked dabs.com since I am in UK and they are round
£50-70 which is what I paid for mine, although the £75 I did pay was
only because I got it at the very expensive shop on my university campus
back then!
