tv tuner card for mythtv for laptop
 

I have Fedora 7 installed on my Dell Inspiron e1505 laptop. I want to install mythtv. I am trying to find a good hd tv tuner card that is compatible with mythtv. I have had no luck with google. Can any body suggest me some inexpensive pcmcia or usb module. Does mythtv work with usb tuner modules?

Thanks.

took me 10s to find this via google (mythtv supported hardware!). there you find a link to a database with cards supported by mythtv...:

I have seen this site, but it does not provide any help for a laptop hd tuner card.

The Novell/Suse guy used a hauppauge USB HD Tuner for his demo of Mythtv on his Laptop at Ohio Linuxfest..

said it was $100.00 Theres is a unit on the front of hauppauges site that looks like it.. Check model and cross reference with supported hardware list.

Thanks. There is a usb hd tv tuner on Happauge website but this is for WinTv. It is not clear whether it supports mythtv as well. I have seen the supported hardware list on www.mythtv.org. This tuner is not listed in that list. In fact mythtv.org does not list any usb tuner.

Using a search engine would be a useful skill....
