has been discussed about thousand times here, but as mythtv-users list is not
searchable (or where could I find the search for it?) I'm asking anyway.

<DIV><SPAN class=529031213-30092004><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm planning to use
PCI ribbon-cable extender for TV-card, large heatsink and custom made case
to use this setup as fanless. No CD or DVD drive! My goal is to have a box
capable of recording shows with time-shift capable. Also requirement is that if
recording from TV, I would be able to view already recorded shows from MPEG-2
and/or xvid format? Currently I own Leadtek WinFast TV2000 XP Expert (Connexant
23880), could I use this card for this setup?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
