[mythtv-users] Right capture card to purchase

[Rage321]

Do you need a low profile version?  IR Blaster with remote?  Without?
 
I concur that the pvr150 has great quality.  I've used two different types,
1045 - http://www.hauppauge.com/pages/products/data_pvr150.html and 1086

Which pvr-150 would you recommend?  A quick search on newegg for "hauppauge"
returns several pvr-150 at several varied prices.  Do some have better specs
than other?  I dont really care about an FM tuner.  Thank you!

A pvr150 offers great quality.  If you put the picture on a HDTV it wont
look the best but that is with any source.  If you want hdtv, recording hd
will look great but if a hd capture card is used to record SD content that
will look way worse then a 150 as the hd card will be a simple framegrabber.

Hello!

It has been observations that the pvr-150 does not deliver the same video
quality as if the tv was directly connected to the normal cable line.  I was
wonding if anyone had any suggestions on other cards to buy that can deliver
better quality?  I am currently using Charter digital cable, and they offer
a few HD-channels.  If I get an HD capture card, can I use that same card on
the channels that are not HD?  Do I need to be concerned about anything
because it is digital cable?  We have other tvs that connect directly to the
cable line, rather than throught the cable box.  The only different is that
these tv's can not access the on-demand stuff.  Thank you for any
suggestions you can provide!
