<div>Hi -</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I am VERY new to Myth and PVR in general. I have a DVR at home that Comcast supplies, but I'm not really happy with it, and want something a little more functional.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I've been reading, reading, reading about Myth TV in order to prepare for what hardware to order. The most confusing issue for me however is the question of Tuner Cards. I really like the cards that have the hardware based encoding, and the PVR-350 seems to be mentioned over and over again. I also like that the PVR-350 has two input tuners. But I have two problems with this:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>1) It's no longer in production. I can find them just fine on EBay, but it doesn't bode well for support.</div>
<div>2) It doesn't support OpenGL, and the Myth-TV page says the newer builds of MythTV will be using OpenGL for the menus, as well as stuff like MythGames.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I am assuming that there is a newer, shinier card which would be a good replacement for the PVR-350, but looking at myriad of tuners on say NewEgg.com, I have no idea which ones work with Linux/MythTV, and which have caveats that I, as a newb, would be unaware of.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Any suggestions?</div>
