[eug-lug]TV input cards

2004-02-25 Thread Bob Miller
I would like to start playing around with a TV input card for Linux. I'm having trouble finding concrete information on cards that work well, so I'm asking here. What TV input cards are you using, and where did you get them? Since we don't have any TV reception here, the source will have to be a

Hauppauge. Probably one of the best supported brands under linux. S-Video in and Composite can be done with an adapater into the S-Video. Since you'll be using an external source other than Coax you'll need to run the audio to the line-in on your sound card or piggy back from the Tuner card.

hop-hog cards are the best, like the early lucent wifi cards. Partly branding, but also simply a good product. Bob, you might be interested in the offerings of http://www.linuxmedialabs.com/ In case you have multiple tuners or external sources, they make some reasonably-priced 4-input cards too

I was amazed when I first read about it, but it seems the primary benefit of doing this is so that a simple portscan will not reveal a server. Handy for those folks trying to hide from their ISP's fine print... but if this gets popular, I'd bet that ISP's will simply scan traffic for

For Hauppauge and other BT8x8 (BrookTree, which is now Conexant?) chipset cards, which are well-supported, actual features vary. I think the 848 chipsets are full video in and out with tv tuner; the 878 work with a secondary sound chip, which often has an FM audio tuner. It works well, although

I got a WinTV 250 card, which supposedly work well, but haven't been able to get it to work. I didn't try all that hard either, yet. It has S-Video inputs. Not sure how audio gets in but I'm guessing via the soundcard. http://www.hauppauge.com/html/wintvpvr250_datasheet.htm Supposedly there's
