I'm looking for something now too, so whilst people are recommending I 
am looking for:
- digital
- HD capable
- on-card MPEG2 encoder (perhaps optional, not sure on this yet...)
- analog input (S-Video or composite) (optional)
to be used with MythTV.

I have looked around at a few options already, just wondering what 
experience people have had.

On another note, I have seen that some cards come with remote 
controllers.  Do these control the card directly, or does another device 
show up somewhere for the remote that is totally separate from the 
capture card?  Does a sensor hang out the back of the PC that has to be 
put somewhere sensible so the controller can see it?

Regards,
Steve
