Can anyone suggest a TV tuner for a notebook?
 
Can someone suggest a Tv Tuner for a notebook that is known to work under Linux?

I prefer if the interface were mini pci-e (half or full card doesn't really matter.) I have see the Avermedia A312 on ebay but there is next to no support for it.


Cheers

Not sure if you guys have gone digital NTSC or not, but the HDHomerun is a dual digital tuner that runs over Ethernet(720p last I checked). You access it like a stream (from VLC or whatever). It is fully supported by MythTV as well as most windows software.

An PCMCIA/CardBus or ExpressCard video capture card will be easier than installing inside the notebook. If you can not find any supported cards, Hauppauge HD PVR should work. The Hauppauge HD PVR is an encoder for HD and SD. It does not have a tuner. A card that might work is Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-1500, but is for ExpressCard.
