</div>If by "standard cable" you mean analog I'd look at the PVR-150s, if you<br>
can find one.<br>
<br>
For digital (which does not mean "HD") I'd go with the HDHR.<br>
<br>
Both these cards are well supported by Linux and Myth.<br>
<br>
But if you are looking for a guarantee of functionality, no such thing<br>
exists.<br>

It does not tune any digital cable channels for me. I have no idea if there's a card that can tune digital cable without the use of an STB.<br>
