[mythtv-users] Low profile TV tuner card?

[Bborie Park]

The Yuan card does come with the remote and the receiver that connects 
to the pci card itself.  BUT, lirc is currently unable to use the 
receiver on the mpg600.  Think it has to do with the gpio settings in 
the driver.  Haven't had time to look into it.

Not all mATX cases are low profile, just some.  Its just that those with 
low profile only capability are smaller and fit in better with the rest 
of an av rack.  I use the AOpen H340H, which blends pretty well with my 
setup.
