One major problem, and this is pretty universal for any hardware type,

is that you don't know what you are getting until you plug it in and

ask it what chipset it uses.  It isn't on the box...rarely do you find

it on a website.  When you are at the store and you are trying to

guess it is just really hard to figure what is going to work.  I

remember one time I bought an ATI TV-Wonder *knowing* that it would

work because I used them before...HAH....the new ones had a different

"Conexant" chipset that didn't have any viable Linux drivers - all

alpha mode...
