Cable really is TV too
One fringe benefit of having broadband internet is that the cable is, well, cable. Invested in a cheap TV capture card (ATI All-in-Wonder Radeon), went to Radio Shack and bought a cable splitter and two short cables -- that's it. Installed avview (which was already a Debian package) along with the binary only ati.2 drivers from gatos, configured sound to use Alsa --- and am now enjoying TV under X11. Not bad.
