I have 2 KWorld V-Stream Xpert DVB-T PCI cards which work a treat and have great support in the kernel I'm running from ATRPMs (2.6.11-1.27_FC3). I was advised to go for these as they don't have buffer issues like some other cards. I would definitely buy them again. The only downside is that the remote is pretty crappy (by which I mean very few buttons) but I already had a decent remote anyway so that didn't matter to me. > > Also possibily some places to buy (online) would be a real help. eBay is good - I got mine from this seller with no problems - http://cgi.ebay.com.au/High-Definition-Digital-TV-Tuner-Capture-Card-RRP-189_W0QQitemZ5284907423QQcategoryZ111509QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Price $99.50. Some mug's trying to sell them for $160 so avoid that one like the plague! > > If there are some of you that think i should go for HD TV cards, feel free > > to reply also with your comments on Which card, and possibily where to buy. > > I have thought about it, but dont know if enough of the shows i want to > > record will be in HD. This card supports HD in Windows - not sure about Linux. But we get sod all programs broadcast in HD anyway in Oz and you need a beefy CPU to play it back so I don't think it's really worth the hassle.
