* Mark Allums m...@allums.com [2009 Oct 03 23:01 -0500]:

 Do these here video capture cards, here, properly ignore the (US, at  
 least) Broadcast Flag?  I want to capture for DVR purposes.  I'm not  
 interested in defeating copy protection, e.g., Macrovision, or copying  
 tapes/DVDs, just want to time shift TV for watching later, and don't  
 want to be inconvenienced by network glitches.

Check out the information from the http://www.mythtv.org folks.  As far
as I know, the broadcast flag, has not yet been required of all
devices.  If you'll be recording Over The Air (OTA) TV in ATSC format,
a lot of people like the HD Home Run unit.

For the OP, your requirements can be met quite well with a Haughpage
PVR-150 (which I use on my Mythbuntu box) or PVR-350 or PVR-500.  All
seem well supported.  I record from my DirecTV receiver using the
S-Video input on the PVR-150.  The PVR series mentioned are analog
capture only.

 For the OP, your requirements can be met quite well with a Haughpage

 S-Video input on the PVR-150.  The PVR series mentioned are analog
 capture only.

I've recently had success with the Hauppauge HVR-1600, using MythTV in
 Gentoo box. It's not officially supported, but works here.

There was chatter of the 150 and 350 being hard to come by. If that's
true, then I recommend this alternative, which will probably be
officially supported sooner or later.

Actually, we usually spell it Lawn Guyland ;-)

As to Hauppauge, it's pronounced Hop-Awg _not_ Hop O'Ghee as other
Americans often assume.

I can't answer that question as I never used the card outside of
Australia, and I have not tried doing any time shift stuff with it as
I just use a program called Me TV[1], and basic capture of stuff. Here
is the overview of the said card[2] on the manufactures website.

Try Craigslist and the usual auction sites. I've seen capture cards listed

Do you want internal or external?  What interface (PCI or PCIe for internal,
USB, Firewire or Ethernet for external)?  Do you want hardware MPEG-2
encoding, or are you going to let the CPU do the encoding?
