Can't comment on this card, but I spent five minutes at the MF's site and couldn't find the card, let alone any specifics about how it works or whether or not it's supported in Linux. I wouldn't buy it solely for that reason.
Yeah. I'm converting an existing machine for MythTv and I started by booting up Knoppix and making sure everything worked.
I agree. Rebates are crap, and I make a point of letting the shop know this whenever I buy something.
Yep. If it's got a rebate I won't buy it. (The only exception being TurboTax.)
But the real thing to keep in mind with MythTV is the realtive PITA factor in getting everything working. PVR cards are very well supported, and you'll be up and running quickly by simply following directions. Other cards supported to varying degrees, or not at all. It's not worth trying to save $10 on a capture card -- just get one that you know will work. Save money other places if you have to.
That I believe. But I've been known to throw money at a problem to make it go away--and not being able to make it go away.<s>
The Hauppauge looks good and seems to be the card name I hear the most frequently. So...that'll do.
