[mythtv-users] HD card suggestion? pcHDTV? AirStar HD5000?

[Florin Andrei]

I will build a Myth box using CentOS 5 (kernel 2.6.18) and I need an HD 
PCI card that works well with Linux. It will be used mostly for OTA at 
first, but the cable may play a role later on. I will watch some NTSC 
analog channels too, at first, either via the Hauppauge analog card that 
I already have, or via the HD card if it supports analog.

I want something that Just Works, as few issues as possible.
I'm gonna use the system mostly to record shows and play them back 
later. Rarely, I may watch some shows live.
I don't want any interference from the broadcast flag, if it really 
becomes an issue.

So now I'm doing research to find out what's the best hardware currently 
available.

I am somewhat familiar with pcHDTV and with AirStar, as these are the 
oldest PCI cards that support Linux. Would you recommend either one of 
these?
Would you recommend something else?
