I have one of these from Hadley @nicegear in my mythtv box:
https://nicegear.co.nz/dvb-cards/hauppauge-hvr2200/
which records the freeview signal straight off the aerial cable.
He also now stocks the hdhomerun which is easier to set up, a little
more expensive, doesn't meet your requirement of an internal card, but
is small.

Some reading: http://www.mythtv.org/
There is plenty of support available on a couple of mythtv lists, one of
which is NZ-based.

Plenty more to consider, this will get you started and take you a long
way. It quickly changes from being "just TV" and turns into what you
want, when you want it.

Hi - I'd like to get some recommendations for a digital TV card. At
the moment I have a p4 3.0 ghz machine and I would like to put in a
card to record programmes, and to run as a DNLA server. But mainly to
record stuff - have a big USB drive I can use in the mean time.
Eventually, I would like to get a low powered device - so ideally the
card would be able to be shifted into this machine - but I don't
really know about low powered chips and MB's, so not sure what would
be good and what kind of slots they have etc.
The other option is a digital recorder of some description, but as far
as I know, they all encrypt the programs and it is not possible to
copy them to a USB drive. My mother has trouble with the VCR, so I
would like to be able to record stuff and give it to her.
Anyway - is the machine above good enough to record programmes? Can
anyone recommend a TV card? And what sort of stuff do I need to consider?
I don't really want to spend a lot of money either - it is just TV,
after all.
Well - any advice would be welcome.
Don
