http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Configuring_HDTV This link gives info on what is needed to view HDTV in regards to video card and cpu, along with other info. If you search around on that wiki you will find info about cards to use to capture tv. I am using a pcHDTV HD-5500 http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/PcHDTV_HD-5500 I am pretty happy with that, and it is working well with my myth tv box. But I now need to build a box (and get a hd tv) so I can view the shows on something other than my computer! I also talked about MythTV last year at a Penguins Unbound Meeting, here are the notes. http://www.penguinsunbound.com/Past_Meetings/20071027_MythTV Good Luck. ==>brian. k0sdh wrote: > Help for proper video card, > > What video card do I want for receiving/managing TV on computer? > Thanks, > Steve, Linux fan but a rank newby > >
