This isn't something I have worked on for awhile, but at last check, Pinnacle makes PCI cards for TV tuning and PVRs that work with a number of popular Linux distros.
Make sure you get one that can do HDTV. For your price range, I don't think it's likely. Pay more now, and it'll last you longer, IMHO. As for your PlayStation 2, if the card has a secondary video input (for VCR or camcorder, or something), you could connect it to that. In my case, back a few years ago, I didn't use it. I opted to connect my XBOX to the video input on my monitor, and switched to that input when I wanted to play console games. -- Bryan Green [email protected] On Feb 3, 2010, at 9:27 PM, Michael Robinson <plu...@robinson- west.com> wrote: > I'm having a hard time figuring out what the market is like right now. > I'm looking for a PCI card or I suppose a USB based tuner will also > work.
