[mythtv-users] HD Card Suggestion / Xvid hw Encoding

[Wade Berrier]

Hey all,

I think I'm ready to take the plunge and get an HDTV card.  I was
wondering if anyone had suggestions to what the best card is?  Seems I
have 3 choices: pchdtv, air2pc, and dvico.

I'll be using an antenna and do not have cable.  Also, my antenna is in
my attic (neighborhood covenants) so if any of the above cards have
tougher times with weaker signals I ought to avoid them.

I also noticed that one of the dvico (Gold model?) cards has hardware
divx/xvid support.  That would be really cool if the hd streams could be
encoded on the fly and saved to disk as xvid.  If that's what it means,
does Myth have support for this?

Thanks for any suggestions.  Also, thanks for the myth software!  It's
been rock solid for the 2 1/2 years I've been using it.

Wade
