<DIV>I am starting the process of building a PVR with MythTV. Anyway
trying to find a digital card with MPEG Encoding has been my sticking point.
Anyway I recently found the Hauppaugh HVR 2250 (<A

target=_blank>http://www.hauppauge.com/site/products/data_hvr2250.html</A>)
and am very interested in it. However it isn't listed on the known
hardware list for Myth. </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>So my question is anyone using this card successfully with Myth?
</DIV>

style="COLOR: rgb(102,51,255)">well I started the thread so I will close
it, I finally ended up buying the hauppauge 2250, linux drivers are on
their way ( it is even stated on hauppauge webpage ), basically this will
be the replacement for the PVR 500, since they are getting a lot of heat
from FCC to not sell any cards that can't decode digital, as I said on a
post before, I think this card will serve 2 purposes, first the intended
one and second I could help do a lot of beta testing ( or even dust my old
C knowledge and work a bit on the driver ) </SPAN></SPAN><SPAN
