Thanks in advance...<br>
<br>
Could someone suggest a recent-model PCI-E x1 (the short slot) ATSC card that will work well on my FC12 box?<br>
<br>
My mobo is an Asus m4n78 pro<br>
<br>
Much appreciated!<br>

<br></blockquote><div><br>I'll just add my two cents worth in. I purchased a Hauppauge HVR-1800 which is a PCIe x1 board with a single ATSC tuner. I have it connected to a roof top UHF antenna and I have been very pleased with it. I also have an HD HomeRun and while I had some problems with the HDHR in the beginning (several years ago), I have never missed a recording on the 1800. It requires the v4l driver, which I am led to believe is in the 2.6.32 kernel; however, I am still on the 2.6.28 kernel so I have compiled the driver from source (not too hard). I don't know how this sits in the Hauppauge line of ATSC-capable tuners as related to price. It also looks like this may have been superceded by the HVR-1850.<br>
<br>The problems I had with my HDHR were all network related, which is why I gave the edge to the 1800 since it relied on one less thing to go wrong. But in the HDHR's defense, I haven't missed any recordings off of it in the past year. It is very easy to set up. No drivers necessary.<br>
