Does anyone know of some good sub-100$ tv tuner card that is compatible with linux running MythTv? I have found one the Win-TV-PVR-150 seen here http://www.directron.com/video---camera-tv-tuner-capturing.html Do any of those cards support linux?
The MythTV web site and the Gentoo-wiki have a lot of information about compatible MythTV hardware. I'd suggest taking a look there. You should also take a look inside your kernel to see if you will need to recompile it for any of the cards you have your eye on.
I'm well aware of where to find card listings but I rather find someone who has a recommendation on a good card that works with MyThtv
The Nova-T(single version, avoid the two-in-one version) is supposed to work very nicely from everything I've read. That's what I'm getting when I get mine
I have been running my MythTV setup for 2 1/2 years now on (2) Hauppauge PVR-250s. The PVR-150 is it's replacement and what is called a hardware encoder card (meaning the CPU does next to nothing with the incoming video). These cards record to MPEG-2 and are heavily used in the MythTV community. Nearly all versions *SHOULD* be supported, but check the MythTV mailing lists to be sure. You will prefer a hardware based encoding card if you ever scale your system up to multiple tuners (which is really where PVRs start to shine).
