Best PVR Card

[Sexton, Kyle]

I second the PVR-250, it's what I use in my MythTV box at home and I
haven't had any complaints.

I would definitely go with a Hauppauge PVR 250.  It is very well tested
within myth.  I have a myth box with one of these cards and it was a
snap to set up (FC3 following Jared Wilson's guide).  It also has the
remote that is well documented and performs nicely.  I am looking to add
another card to the setup so I can watch TV and record at the same
time.
