[mythtv-users] ATSC Tuner Advice

[Jacob Strandlien]

My old ATSC tuner (K-World 115) finally died, so I've been trying to get a new one.  After doing research on this list and elsewhere, I ordered a Pinnacle card.  I installed it only to find out that they had made a hardware revision to the card and it was no longer Linux-compatible.  Then I researched and ordered a different card and then waited two weeks for it to ship only to be notified that it was out of stock and the manufacturer had discontinued it.  THEN I bought a third card, an HVR-1250, only to open the box and find an incompatible HVR-1265 instead.  Beyond frustrating.

I've been without TV for a month now and I think my wife is about to throw the mythbox out the window.  So my question is this: can anyone recommend a Linux-compatible PCI or PCI-E USA ATSC card that is still being manufactured and won't be the wrong card in the right box?  I just need something, -ANYTHING- that will work!
