[mythtv] Video Card recommendations

[Jason Ramey]

I own a Hauppauge card and am very happy with it. I found an older WinTV
card on ebay for 16 dollars that works perfectly. I would recommend the
Hauppauge brand 100 percent. My only beef is that it's only a capture
card, so I use a voodoo3 for the video card. Some see this as a plus
though.

Personal opinions and experiences of a somewhat satisfied ATI All In
Wonder Radeon user. For regular graphics, the AIW is nice, very nice.
Keeps up with things quite well, makes me happy.

For video capture, though, it's useless under Linux. Avoid it. I know of
ONE program and setup that can handle it, and MythTV ain't it. (avview
with ffmpeg can, though). Go with a TV Wonder or one of the Hauppages
(from what I've read lately, the Hauppage is nice, but I couldn't afford
it yet, so went with a TV wonder, which works well). -----BEGIN PGP
