[ale] Which TV Card

[Dow Hurst]

I checked MythTV's site for compatibility and decided to go with the Hauppauge 
   Win-TV PVR 250 card that has the MPEG-2 encoder built in.  It is listed as 
an excellent card to have and working well with MythTV.  The price at 
Amazon.com with free shipping is 135.00.  I had some gift cards and such to 
stick in to bring my price down some.  I wanted to get the 350 version but 
198.00 plus shipping was too much.  You don't have to get such a nice card but 
the encoder adds power that I am interested in having.  Just ordered last week 
so haven't received it yet,
Dow
