I have an AverMedia PCI 350 and it is supported in FC3 by v4l. I 
just bought a Hauppauge PVR 250, but have not installed it yet.

One thing I haven't seemed to figure out yet is when setting 
up "channels" on VLC it asks for the destination IP address.
Maybe I am just confused but I am used to having the client 
connect to the server to get things, rather than as it would 
seem the server must push the content to the client. Am I 
brain dead or is that what it is doing.
