[ale] mythtv hardware question

[Daniel Howard]

Pardon me if I missed the summary of the recent MythTV build-in, I get 
ALE in digest mode and do occasionally miss things.

I'm fed up with my Windows MCE platform for video capture/editing/DVD 
creation, and even my Snapstream Win2k box with a Hauppauge USB PVR add 
on, which used to do a wonderful job of PVR and video capture, is 
refusing to see the capture device now.

So, I've got a P4, 2.66 GHz box I'm going to add some RAM to get at 
least 1 GB, maybe 2GB, add a bigger hard drive, and add a video capture 
card to turn it into a MythTV PVR/video editing box using, e.g., Kino.

After initial Googling, I see that the Hauppauge-PVR 250 is quite 
popular for MythTV, and the 350 more capable, but lacking in OpenGL and 
optimum X support.  I want to use this box for PVR, video capture from 
my digital camcorder, video editing and DVD production, and audio 
capture from old vinyl records and reel-to-reel and cassette tapes, 
editing, and studio production if possible.  The MythTV site is somewhat 
ambiguous about recommending a particular video capture card, does 
anyone have a recommendation?

Thanks,
Daniel
