recommendation for best tv video card?

[William F Pearson III]

I'll have to agree that the Wintv Cards are good I had the Wintv DBX,
that's the stereo version. The PVR cards are a little more tricky to
get working with linux and they record with mpeg2. If you're big on
open standards mpeg2 probably isn't going to appeal to you. ATI has a
new HDTV Wonder card out that isn't supported in Linux, no kernel
modules available last time I checked. In fact most of the terrestrial
HDTV cards aren't, otherwise I would snatch one up immediately. If you
are thinking of ever trying an HDTV card and live in the United
States, you need to finde one before this July to avoid the dreaded
broadcast flag that will prevent you from recording some shows.
