Of course.

Of course. What do you think this is, Windows 3.1 [2] or something?
You typically need to recompile the kernel to add support for either of these
things, but there is a HOWTO which tells you how to get the WinTV working, and
there's Documentation/video4linux/ in the kernel source tree. The WinTV is a
bttv card, so look in the bttv subdirectory.

There's also a HOWTO on the 3d accelleration cards, but beyond that I know
nothing.

[2] I was going to say "NetBSD" but that didn't strike me as a way of winning
friends and influencing people.
