Which TV card?

Hauppauge are probably the best supported TV card manufacturer for Linux. Their Nova-T range works with a whole host of programs such as Kaffeine to the full media centre application MythTV. I'd avoid USB receivers if you can. They should work fine in Windows but aren't supported as much in Linux. PCI cards are really the way to go.

This is what i've got:

Hauppauge Digital: WinTV Nova-T PCI
 
Yeah the Hauppage one and the GDI Black Gold seem to be the two most people use.
Geexbox supports loads of cards if you want to use linux.
 
Okay, guys - thank you - some good information to go on. However, I do not have a terrestrial TV aeriel - I only have my Sky Digibox. I wonder if I could somehow link that up to a TV card - failing that - I might try broadband TV - anyone tried it?
 
You need a DVB-S card. Ive never looked into them but I bet hauppage is still the one to go for.
 
Which TV card? - related question....

Just joining this thread .... I could do with some help on a similar subject as DavidNW - Zeus - perhaps you can help here ?
I have a Hauppauge WIN TV PCI FM card that I am trying to receive an input from a DigiHome digibox (connected to a terrestrial aerial). I have tried an RF cable and an S-Video cable however the Tv card can't pick up anything other than poor signal. Is there a specific channel/frequency I can tune my Tv card to ? ...or am I trying to achieve the impossible ? The TV card picks up terrestrial fine. Thanks
