[plug] TV Tuner Card: Leadtek?

[Mike Holland]

Trevor,
search the PLUG archives - I'm pretty sure this has been discussed here
before.
  Most boards I've seen are BT878-based and will probably work fine, once
you've found the correct module parameters.
  The FlyVideo 3000 does stereo, but its  a newer chip, and may not be
supported so well. (see plug archive)

  For a PVR, why muck about with analogue? Cheap digital tuners can be had
now. At least, from $200, its a lot less than the HD-TV to go with it.

I've used mplayer with a Duron1200, which just managed realtime mpeg4
compression. But its not fast enough for high-definition TV playback.
