[mythtv-users] Video card and remote recommendations

StreamZap works fine if you like it.  Many people have great luck with
the MCE USB remote.  Plus it has 2 blasters built in.

Any card should work.  HDMI and DVI are really the same thing, so if
you want buy one with DVI and when you need HDMI you can buy an
adapter.  I would recommend getting a 9000+.  As it will allow the
best de-interlaces to work.
