It would be nice if they cleaned up the docs.  One guy keeps an RPM 
repository, but there is still some manual stuff to do.  I couldn't get 
apt-rpm to connect to his archive (atrpm he called it). *shrugs*
It apparently makes a big difference which video card you use if you 
want super video out to work.  Apparently the nVidia GForce 440 MX and 
up are recommended and they have a preference for the PVR-250 and now 
350 card from Hauppage.  And processor, they recommend 1GHz per tuner 
card.  Most of that is too rich for my blood.
