I bought mine on ebay. I was a bit afraid that I'd run into trouble to
set it up as it reported but for me it was a real plug n' play
experience. I used Axel's binary ivtv drivers for FC3 but I compile
MythTV from the CVS.
This card reports itself as a pair of PVR-150 on a single PCI card:

Here's the RPMs I use:

modprobe.conf:

alias tveeprom tveeprom-ivtv
alias tuner tuner-ivtv
alias msp3400 msp3400-ivtv
options cx25840 no_black_magic=1
Now, I just need to get cable to record from it. ;)
