[ale] mythtv capture card Hauppauge USB PVR-2 any luck

[Narahari 'n' Savitha]

Agreed but the limitation of the homerun device is I cant use it with
Satellite set top boxes and also I am trying to capture output of a
computer.

I stream video from a sliver right, that is coming from India and then I
play full screeen on a windoze machine.

I then want to pipe that to the myth box so myth can capture the
video/audio, since myth does NOT know whether it is coming from set-top box
or another pc.

So before I buy another internal Hauppauge device I want to try out
Hauppauge USB2 PVR.
