Hi all,
I am planning on building a PVR, and wondering what type of tv capture card people would recommend? At the moment I am using Mandrake, I am willing to use Debian or any other distro. Currently I am looking at the hauppauge WinTV 350
I'd actually recommend going with a DVB-T card. All TV stations now broadcast as an MPEG-2 stream as well as analogue, and the picture quality far exceeds that of any analogue card I've seen. There is zero interference from the internals of the PC.
Most cards work well under linux. I've been using the hauppauge nova-t
card for a while in a remote (> 10,000km) box, and have never had a fault with it, even though i record shows almost daily.
Which of these cards, if any, will allow me to capture a video/stereo audio stream off a VCR so that I can then drop it onto VCDs / DVD-ROMs?
Also, since I have cable, my TV signal comes in as a A/V stream so I need to capture that (although I normally run it through the VCR first).
Or do I need a separate sound card for the audio capture?
