[mythtv-users] Choosing a Suitable DVB-T PCI Card

[Paul Wheeler]

I have a couple of avermedia dvb 771's that work out of the box in
2.6.13(with the right dvb options turned on in the kernel ;-)). I
found them
fairly cheap and work well.

I had a pinnacle card that had problems with it and the mt352 driver so i
would stay away from them.
