Need help choosing a TV Capture Card for linux
 

Hello there,

I have an old wintv GO TV card from Hauppauge . I had this card since the 90s along with the computer it is currently in.

I am planning to buy a new computer soon. Some of these new motherboards don't have any PCI slots or in some occasion only one.

I may need to buy a new TV Capture card. Do any of you know or use a TV card that uses the PCI Express x1 slot or a USB TV tuner that works in linux?

Thanks for any feedback.

You'll probably want to research a little the device you wish to buy.

I bought a silicon dust product. It is a networked device. Costs a bit more but works on almost everything and has the best reception so far. Still not as good as a tv however but way better than the usb tuners.

Thanks for the replies.

Before I posted my question, I did search LQ's HCL. Most of the TV capture cards listed are outdated. They're probably found at ebay.

The silicon Dust HDHomeRun Dual Digital Tuner works with linux, but it needs some type of media center like MythTV as the website says.

Anyway, I know I can find new desktops with at least one PCI bus. And continue to use my old and trusted Wintv GO TV card.

Thanks again for the replies.

Every tv device needs some way to use it. Silicondust supports almost everything out there.

They still make motherboard with pci.
