TV tuner card with s-video/composite input and a dedicated video capturing card are 2 different things

Sure they are, but you didn't differentiate before

http://ncix.com/products/index.php?s...facture=D-Link

Does this have a pre-installed O/S? or can I install my own? Such as Ubuntu.

I'm thinking of running Ubuntu Server off of it.

Like Manic said, it's not a computer per se. It uses an embedded version of Linux written specifically for the dedicated chip inside the device. (i.e. it's a special Linux implementation written especially for the chip used in the NAS) If you Google hacking DNS-323 you can find a few different options out there. However, you won't be able to pick up a version of Ubuntu and load it on the NAS.

^And you still wouldn't be able to do much with it. There's no video card, no USB host, no keyboard or mouse ports, no audio... it's just a drive controller and a network interface with some supporting firmware in between.
