Sounds like you're in the USA. With the demise of analog NTSC
broadcasting 
analog cards are getting hard to find.

E-Bay might be a source.

The "gold standard" of analog cards for Myth is/was probably the
Hauppauge 
PVR-x50 series, but other cards/devices can be made to work.

HD-3000/5500 cards will work, but require software encoding. The Plextor
PX-
TV402U devices also work, but all of these are getting hard to find, as
you 
have discovered.


As I'm thinking to use NVIDIA ION platform I would prefer a card with
hardware encoding. 

Again, just to clarify, I don't really need to receive analog
broadcasting, but rather video input via s-video.
