After reading Linux Format magazine's review of TV cards earlier this
year, I bought the TechnoTrend TT-1500, which is supposed to work with
Linux, but so far I have not been able to get it to pick up anything at
all, in Mythbuntu. Although I have now, I think, messed up the Mythbuntu
installation on the PC and will have to reinstall it at some time. If I
ever get it working, then I might recommend it, otherwise go with the
other recommendations.

Hey people - a little bit of help or misdirection needed - :)
Looking for recommendations for a PCI tv tuner card which works without
TOO much trouble.
Mostly using Intrepid - sometimes Jaunty - but not worried about bugs
there for obvious reasons as yet.
Nvidia GeForce6200 card if it makes a difference.
Thanks

I'd also suggest the Hauppage cards, they're probably the best supported
cards out of the box.
You don't mention if you want an analogue tuner card or a Freeview card.
If you want an Analogue one then probably anything with a BT848 or
BT878 chipset would work (which covers most analogue PCI TV Tuner
cards). For Digital cards check out this site...

You'd be looking for DVB cards (DVB-T for Terestrial i.e. Freeview, and
DVB-S for Freesat).
