[mythtv-users] Card for capture without tuner?

For the particular card I was talking about (assuming it is supported, still
not sure) the only advantage I need is cost.  A PVR-150 costs what? $60?
This card, after rebate right now would be $40, and would be both a geforce
6200, and a tv-encoder, so I wouldn't need to worry about a separate video
card.  Obviously if I wanted to add more capture cards later, I'd be looking
at PVR150s or similar cards.
