<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>I
am a pretty new MythTV user, and need some recommendations for a good TV tuner
card. <br>
<br>
I started out with a very cheap card from Kworld, that I can make work in Myth
(with a lot of hoop jumping), but the quality sucks. So I am considering
getting a Haupaugge PVR-150, since I have heard it is a pretty good card and
has great compatibility and is reasonably priced. Here are my questions:<br>
<br>
1) Is this a good card to start with? Does anyone have any positive (or
negative) comments about this card that I should keep in mind before my
purchase?<br>
2) If I <b>do</b> buy the PVR-150, should I get the OEM version (no remote),
the "standard" version, or the MCE version?<br>
3) Are there any other specific models (by Haupaugge or any other brand) that
you would recommend?<br>
<br>
**I do realize that this is a single tuner card, but I am willing to go with
that to start out with. If I <b>REALLY REALLY</b> get into the
MythTV, I figured I could add a second card later; or even upgrade to a dual
tuner card.<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance for the help,<br>
<br>

<br>
I am getting ready to purchase a tuner card to start with also. I have been
considering a Kworld card, what model were you using? I am interested in OTA
ATSC and possibly some OTA Analog.<br>
<br>
Recommendations on OTA ATSC cards welcomed.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
