MythTV uses the LinuxTV DVB/V4L apis.  Rather than MythTV
trying to duplicate the information (which would always be out of
date), one should go look at the LinuxTV pages for what cards work.

Be aware the Hauppauge has recently changed some of
the internal chips in their cards, usually changing the model
number from xxx0 to xxx5, and those revised cards are not
supported in Linux (and, unfortunately, Hauppauge ships
the newer cards in the older boxes since their Windows
drivers support both card types).  More than one person has
had to return their new card/dongle to (try to) get "old stock".
