Ok...I have come to the conclusion that a USB solution in my price range is probably not going to work under Linux. The devices I am finding all appear to need Win-only software to function and often do not even appear as an attached device. I found one discussion of the Hauppauge USB solution being used under LInux, but that's at the outer bounds of my price range and the discussion complained of a lot of dropped frames. So...
I will probably go with a PCI card solution. I am leaning toward Hauppauge because, as mentioned, they have a good rep under MythTV discussions and other Linux-support chats. Now I'm just trying to decide if there's a valid reason to bypass the PV-150 ( which I see people mention as getting in the < $100 range ) or go with the 250. The 250 has a better software bundle but that doesn't matter to me and the specs LOOK identical as far as capture goes. Does anyone have personal experience ( or at least second-hand experience ) between the 150 and 250 that they could share? _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
