[mythtv-users] current recommendations for video capture card

[Bert Van Kets]

 From what I read, most HD cards put out pretty bad SD quality as the 
manufacturers don't put any effort in the SD tuner. It's an HD card 
after all.
I'd double check the SD output quality of the card you want to purchase.
