[mythtv-users] TV tuner card recommendations?

[Matthew Asplund]

For an SD card, this is definitely the best way to start.  I got the OEM
version and use a Gyration wireless keyboard/mouse combo to do control.  The
150 is easy to set up and works well.  If you are cramped for space in your
case, the 500 has two tuners in the same space.  In general I think that the
HDHomeRun is the future (it's what I am planning to move to) for HD because
it is computer independent.
