TVTime only functions with framegrabbers, and framegrabbers
are a poor
<br>
choice for anything that needs to record. MythTV has to pull
data from
<br>
audio and video inputs, and encode it in real time. It's not
that hard
<br>
to pull off, but the configuration is clumsy and error prone.
It's
<br>
recommended anyone want to do analog use hardware encoder
cards, which
<br>
do all that for MythTV, and feed MythTV a simple MPEG stream.
Last I
<br>
checked, you could generally pick up used PVR-150s for $20-25,
or
<br>
PVR-500s (dual tuners) for about twice that.

Thanks! For the info.
<br>
<br>
So, what TVCard would you recommend for someone who would like
to record
<br>
2 channels at the same time, and, that work well with MythTV? I
am on
<br>
Mageia2 Linux.
<br>
<br>
Cheers,

Your first post suggests that you are in Canada and want to
receive analog TV. Raymond's post mentions the PVR-500 which
would likely be a good choice. If you have access to digital
signals via cable or OTA I believe you would need something else.
Location, signal source (and price) are important things to know
when making recommendations.

Oops! Yes, of course. Here are the specs:<br>
<br>
Location: Canada<br>
Signal: digital<br>
TVCard Price: will pay up to $200<br>
MoBo: ASRock 775i65g<br>
RAM: 2 gig will upgrade to 4 gigs if necessary (MoBo max)<br>
Hardrive: SATA 1Tb<br>
<br>
I am putting this together for my wife and she would like to record
2 channels at the same time if possible. Or tape and watch at the
same time.<br>
<br>
Thanks for the help.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
