Like a TV.

Kinda depends on what you want to capture.
What's a good capture card that works under MythTV?

Do you want to record analog or digital channels, or both?

There are thousands of messages in the archives about capturing television from cable. The card itself should be your last decision. You should understand DVB, QAM, 5C encryption, capturing video from a STB via analog, via firewire, if your cable box offers anything useful from the firewire port (in which case you do not need a capture card at all), how you plan on changing channels on the STB you have, etc. You also need to consider your end use. A large LCD or Plasma Display? Laptop computer screen? Standard definition TV? Streaming over the web? Handheld video device?</div><div><br></div></body></html>
