Merkur2k,
In your previous post you referenced analog cards which are out of production. I did read your post and have been to the wiki page for TV Tuners. I was looking for some personal references for cards which are currently in production and work well with LinuxMCE.
I figured that there were many others like me building their first machine and looking for new components. Therefore, I began this topic.
I really appreciate all of the input from the various people who have responded and hope that it will continue.
