I've been running the pvr-250 for about a year now under MythTV. It's great. About the only downside is that it requires ivtv drivers (ivtv.sourceforge.net). You have to use the 0.2.x release candidates, since the 0.1.x series has some issues with it. These must be rebuilt everytime that you recompile the kernel, sort of like the nvidia drivers. Driver issues aside, this is a wonderful (and cheap) card. And it works really well with MythTV, both releases and cvs. -- Thanks, Fernando Vilas [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Tuesday January 4 2005 14:03, Adam Melancon wrote: > If any of you need a capture card, I hear that the wintv-pvr-250 is an > awsome card.
