[ale] Which TV Card

[Calvin Harrigan]

I can vouch for the pvr250, I've been using one in a mythtv box for about 8 
months now.  As noted earlier they are a bit pricy, but you get what you pay 
for.  

The 1.9 drivers work very well.

If you have anyquestions about mythtv, I can help.  Been using/fooling with it 
since early 2003.
