I've extensivly searched the hauppage.com website to find out which
of the cards does contain a 878 (preferrably with FM radio), but
I'm still unsure which model would work.

It's difficult for me to guess from the product name to the
chip on board 8-} And the people in the computer stores will
probably not allow me to rip boxes open to check 8-)

My dream card would be the

	WinTV-PVR-350

but will it be supported? What chips does it use ?
