I am terribly disappointed in you. you should start buying tv cards and start putting them in pcs, laptops with slackware to show the world how good mtv looks on it. do it immediately.is it :s i did not try it in slackware even i am using it on my all desktops ( office pc, home pc and labtop)

never heard of one with a slot. but who knows!are there any cards in the local market that will also work in place of digital receivers, like sun tv's? like, they have a card slot.
when i bought. and it was a couple of years ago. there were two.i am interested in buying a tv tuner card. what should i get
1. Pixelview: it is ok while viewing tv. but when you want to recoed stuff, its file size is huge. very little clip may take lots of MBs.
2: Pinnacle PCTV/PCTV PRO : was very nice. its a german company basically. and its recorded file size can be compared exactly like (a ~5 minute VCD song takes 40 MB )
this is the one i have. it has a Conexent 878 A Fusion chip.
PCTV PRO has FM radio also.
--------------------------
but now. i've heard that there are cool MSI cards with better chips. although i don't know about their support in bttv driver.
before buying check which chips latest bttv driver supports.

have you used mythtv? here is a list of resolutions it supports for recording.phoenix wrote:1. Pixelview: it is ok while viewing tv. but when you want to recoed stuff, its file size is huge. very little clip may take lots of MBs.
do your cards support mpeg-2 hardware encode/decode? that will speed up file compression immensely.
thanks.
