Has anyone had experience with the VideoMate DVB-T300 - it got a good
review in an Aussy PC mag recently.

Is supposed to work in linux, appears to hardware encode MPG-1, MPG-2,
MPG-4 but I'm not 100% sure of that.
I like the look of it because it is 1/ a low profile card 2/ Digital and
analog.

Get a hauppauge PVR card. The PVR-150 is really cheap given that it has an
on-board mpeg2 encoder.
The 250 is basically the same. The 350 has TV out, and the 500 is dual
tuner (essentially two 150s on the same card)
The MCE version is supposed to work fine with mythtv.
I confirm all of the above.
the other hardware encoder option is a Plextor ConvertX PVR which
hardware encodes to mpeg2 and mpeg4 and is supported by linux and mythtv
Don't bother with a philips SAA7134 based card... They're dumb frame
grabbers, and need basically a new CPU to run them with mythtv.
I have found a bunch of links for the episode guide for New Zealand - will
email them tonight/tomorrow.
