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 the software. From what I've seen MythTV looks pretty easy to use. I 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.
