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

Those of you who have experience with setting up a PVR such as MythTV,
what is a good capture card that will be easy to setup and, more importantly, easy to use? I suppose the easy to use part depends on

plan
to install and use this on my wife's existing Mandriva system.
Any advice is welcome.
Thanks, Jim
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.
