[mythtv-users] Best Supported Cards

[Barry Fawthrop]

Good Point my bad

I was looking for capture
I am currently thinking of upgrading my Video Display card to a 9400GT
1GB Ram Dual Monitor display VGA or DVI

Is there a single card, both capture and Dual Display? 

It is on a Ubuntu 9.10 version for NTSC
I have digital cable (or so the provider says) I have their HDTV box
and their channels. I have tried connecting direct into cable and
now via the HDTV cable box, using the WinTV HVR-1800  and No
success.
First the audio did not work, MythTV had off color picture and tvtime
had a perfect picture
now (I loaded the cs23885-audio tree) I can't get a picture at all
did had sound direct into cable, nothing via the HDTV cable box :(

Thanks again

Barry
