I started out with a very cheap card from Kworld, that I can make work
in Myth (with a lot of hoop jumping), but the quality sucks. So I am
considering getting a Haupaugge PVR-150, since I have heard it is a
pretty good card and has great compatibility and is reasonably priced.
Here are my questions:<br>
<br>
1) Is this a good card to start with? Does anyone have any positive (or
negative) comments about this card that I should keep in mind before my
purchase?<br>
2) If I <span style="font-weight: bold;">do</span> buy the PVR-150,
should I get the OEM version (no remote), the "standard" version, or
the MCE version?<br>
3) Are there any other specific models (by Haupaugge or any other
brand) that you would recommend?<br>
<br>
**I do realize that this is a single tuner card, but I am willing to go
with that to start out with. If I <b>REALLY REALLY</b> get into the
MythTV, I figured I could add a second card later; or even upgrade to a
dual tuner card.<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance for the help,<br>
<br>

I am getting ready to purchase a tuner card to start with also. I have
been considering a Kworld card, what model were you using? I am
interested in OTA ATSC and possibly some OTA Analog.<br>
<br>
Recommendations on OTA ATSC cards welcomed.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
