I got a WinTV 250 card, which supposedly work well, but haven't been able to get it to work. I didn't try all that hard either, yet. It has S-Video inputs. Not sure how audio gets in but I'm guessing via the soundcard.
http://www.hauppauge.com/html/wintvpvr250_datasheet.htm Supposedly there's an ivtv driver I need, and enable some kernel stuff. Last time I followed a recipe I found it didn't work. I've been meaning to do it again but priorities... I subscribed to the MythTV email list and this was a common question and had lots of good feedback. I'd look at their archives to get some tips on cards. They also mention deals or rebates on cards as they come up usually... http://www.mythtv.org/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users/ OR http://www.gossamer-threads.com/archive/MythTV_C2/Users_F11/ -Rob On 20040225.0800, Bob Miller said ... > I would like to start playing around with a TV input card for Linux. > I'm having trouble finding concrete information on cards that work > well, so I'm asking here.
