Good TV Capture Card for Linux System?

[DarkSamurai2003]

Going to have Mandriva 2006 PowerPack on my PC. It's an ABit KT-7 Raid motherboard.

Looking for a good PCI Capture Card that works well with Linux!

 

[DarkSamurai2003]

Are the ATi AIW drivers for Linux good? Or the drivers for their TV-Tuners work well with Linux?

There was a thread a while ago where pretty much everyone agreed that the Linux ATi drivers were pretty much abysmal.

I know their normal drivers are abysmal (for linux) but don't know about AIW/Capture drivers...

Hmm, I wonder how well they work :\. Is there a real good TV-Capture card that's compatible with Linux?

Well there's pcHDTV, don't know about its capture capabilities though...you could use MythTV with it...and you'll probably find more info here:

I've been using a Hauppauge PVR-250 with MythTV for awhile now without too many problems. Drivers can be found at http://ivtvdriver.org/. The driver works with some of the other Hauppauge PVR boards according to the site.

That suggestion isn't even funny.

Anyways I would suggest a Hauppauge PVR250 as being well supported. You could also give the PVR150 a try but last time I checked support under Linux was beta but it worked pretty well.
