You will always save time and trouble by using proven solutions. The PVR250 and PVR350 work great with MythTV. > Third, I'm hoping to get the quitest solution possible.

My back-end system is a multi-disk, multi-fan beast that sits in a corner of the basement along with the scanner, printer, etc. The front-end in the livingroom is much quieter because all it has to do is run the front end and/or mplayer. Right now I'm using an X-Box, but in the future I could switch to a diskless workstation that boots from the network. > Last, do I need another video card, or is the video capture card all I need? The PVR350 has video out. Most other solutions will require a separate video card.
