This is probably the wrong place for this particular question but I'll
ask anyway - what is a recommended tuner+hardware_encoder card, and
possibly hardware_decode and tv_out too, that pretty much 'works'.

I have a Myth box with two PVR-350's and as hard as this is to believe
both cards went bad around the same time with the same problem (I
posted about this about 6 months ago, but the cards are definitely
bad).  I was very happy with the cards prior to this.  I don't really
need two tuners, it was by accident that I ended up with two.

When I put the box together a few years ago it took literally about 3
weeks to get all the pieces working.  When my hard drive failed some
time ago I re-installed with KnoppMyth and, WOW, what a pleasant
experience - the pvr350 was fully supported and the thing just worked -
until the pvr350's decided to go south.

I wanted to put the myth box out of the living room where I can
tolerate a larger case and more fans and decided to buy a MediaMVP to
use as the myth frontend.  This has turned out to be another bleeding
edge adventure and probably not gonna work out for me.  So that's why I
still probably need tvout, although I could use one of my bum pvr350's
since the tvout still works fine.

I liked by the turnkey ease of KnoppMyth and the MediaMVP has worn me
down again - I don't want any more battles.  Can anyone recommend a
card that pretty much 'just works'.  Is a new PVR-350 the way to go, or
will that mean the bleeding edge driver?

Many thanks,

Matt
