[mythtv-users] Hardware Advice

[Adam Skinner]

Hi, 

Thanks for the response Mike, 

doesn't the Nova t 500 have problems? I thought it often needed modules
reloading. Or has this been fixed? Im not sure how up to date the link I
sent it. 

I had a friend trying myth for the first time using mythbuntu a month
ago. He had the same cards and reported the same problems (usb
disconnect). He reverted back to windows media centre.

I am really tempted to get another leadtek as there isn't really much on
offer that works with linux. I bought a GDI black gold once, got burned
with no hardware support and don't want to make the same mistake again.

Hauppauge wintv nova t 500. Watch out for the newer "diversity" model,
which doesn't work. I got the guy in the shop to open the package to
verify it was the right model! Full details at the link you posted! Cost
about 50 quid.
