		I am starting the process of building a PVR with MythTV.
Anyway trying to find a digital card with MPEG Encoding has been my
sticking point.  Anyway I recently found the Hauppaugh HVR 2250
(http://www.hauppauge.com/site/products/data_hvr2250.html) and am very
interested in it.  However it isn't listed on the known hardware list
for Myth.  

		So my question is anyone using this card successfully
with Myth?  

		I also found this

			Re: Need a Dual turner Capture card for myCable,
WinTV-PVR 500 is discontinued* CONFIRMED * so what do you recommend ?
			
			well I started the thread so I will close it, I
finally ended up buying the hauppauge 2250, linux drivers are on their
way ( it is even stated on hauppauge webpage ), basically this will be
the replacement for the PVR 500, since they are getting a lot of heat
from FCC to not sell any cards that can't decode digital, as I said on a
post before, I think this card will serve 2 purposes, first the intended
one and second I could help do a lot of beta testing ( or even dust my
old C knowledge and work a bit on the driver ) 
			
			Thank you all for your responses.

	Holy crap, this looks like the *perfect* card for me to be able
to record my regular cable TV and future-proof for HD-- am I correct
that it would serve this purpose?? 
	
	Thanks

	I hear you!
	 
	Nothing to report lately. The S2API and the Plumbers conf took a
lot of 
	my time, I'm only now getting back into a regular linux
schedule.
	 
	Feel free to ping me through this mailing list every few weeks.
