The ubuntu pc is the only computer around here though with a tv card in it...
If you have a TV card with the necessary linux drivers installed in the pc, then you shouldn't have a problem going straight from the camera to the TV card input - as far as I can tell the output from the camera is via 3.5mm minijack to video & mono RCA phono plugs - provided you have the necessary cable & the TV card has phono inputs you should be ok..
