media centre build

[Michael]

Hello B.

I've been thinking about this exact same thing as my desktop is
currently my media server. I can do everything I need to except for
record tv shows and for this I need a TV card. Now the issue is what
TV cards will work in Australia while also working with the Linux
Kernel. There are a couple of Hauppage cards that apparently work with
the Linux kernel ootb but I'm not sure of their suitability yet for
Australian TV. If and when I can get a definitive answer I'll post it,
if I can get a general "yeah this may be ok" I'll post that to and you
can decide from there what you want to do.

Cheers.
Michael.
