Any recommendations on TV cards and software for recording TV shows for my PC. I am running Mandrake 9 on a P4 with 256 ram.
The two cards I have looked at so far are Live View 3000 TV tuner card @ $99 Leadtek TV tuner card @$135 any comments? Andrew d I have Askey TVView CPH051. Got it from Everythinglinux for about $150. It works well. Excellent reception, (except SBS). To record TV I use Mplayer's mencoder and use mp3lame and lavc for audio and video codec to a 512X384 box. In full screen playback it is good IMO. I have DMA optimised on my AMD XP2200. A half hour of TV is about 175MB. Then you can use Kavi2svcd and burn your own VCDs when your hard drive gets too full :-) Raena -- Raena Lea-Shannon -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
