i have been searching the forum. but cannot find a list of compatible hardware... im not new to linux.. but i am new to the tv and recording scene in linux.. i was about to buy the wintv 401 w/dbx.. its cheap.. and the article i was reading suggested it because it works right out of the box.. i was looking thru the hauppauge site and saw a the wintv theater which is model 495... just wondering if anyone know if the model 495 will work.. im just looking to get into this and play around...

is there a well linux supported HDTV card..? i do not have a HDTV at the moment.. buti would be willing to buy a hdtv capable card if it would allow me to do reg TV and move up to HDTV later..

any help would be appreciated

there are two supported hdtv cards for linux. The pchdtv3000, and the air2pc. not sure if you would have much luck with either picking up regular tv. I have the pchdtv, and I haven't had any luck getting standard signals that look good. not sure if the air2pc even does standard ntsc, as it is a dtv card.
