[GRLUG] TV Tuner cards for Linux

[Ron Lauzon]

Your best bet is to head over to the MythTV wiki.  They list the cards
that work.
In my personal experience, the Hauppauge cards work best.

But the problem today is that everything is digital.

When I recorded OTA TV, I used an HDHomeRun - which supports both HD
broadcast and ClearQAM via cable.  The problem is that no cable
provider uses ClearQAM - they all encrypt all their channels.

My current setup is a Hauppauge WinTV USB tuner (because the small box
I am using for a DVR won't let me put a card in it).  It's hooked up
to my cable box via an analog cable and I tune the cable box with an
Iguana IR transmitter (from http://iguanaworks.net/).
