if you are going HDTV use the myHD 120, it has fairly good support in Linux and it has hardware based decoding, check out VDR (video disc recorder) if you are going all digital. Also if you want satelite HDTV from FTA (Free to Air) look at Twinhan Vision PLus, its software based so need 2.5Ghz+ for HDTV. Look at avsforum.com for more Linux info HDTV, if you still want the AIW 7500 I have a year old one with all docs, cds, acc, and usb remote(can't get it to work in Linux, havn't tried 2.6) for sale.

I've used some of the older Matrox Marvel video capture cards with some success. If this is something you going to use frequently, my advise is to save up and get something with hardware mpeg2 encoding. Anything else is going to store the scream in a non-mpeg format that will have to be converted later. I haven't seen any OpenSource software that will transcode a high res, high bitrate mpeg stream in real time. (You have to consider both res. and bitrate) Usually the video and audio have to be encoded separately and the muxed together later. It's a pain, and time consuming. I've heard good things about the PVR-250/350 cards working well under Linux. My next purchase will likely be the PVR-250.

I'm looking for a video card that can receive broadcast tv and encode mpeg video. Video/tuner cards with built-in hardware encoding for the high resolution I want are one solution but are expensive. I was considering purchasing a All In Wonder Radeon 7500 64MB DDR AGP video/tuner card. With the windows software it supports recording video at high resolution (at least 720x480). Does any one know if this card can be used fully in linux, ie. as
a TV tuner/video card that you can record mpeg video from using your CPU?
Anyone have suggestions/experience for a video/tuner card that I can record
video from?  It doesn't have to have built-in/hardware capture as long as I
can record with it using the CPU.

It said use windows 95 or better so I loaded linux!
In a world without walls and fences who needs windows and gates?
