Three TV tuner cards (PCI)
I bought these a few years ago, for building a MythTV box. I have realized they will not meet my needs, and might be fun for others to hack on. If I understand this all correctly, these are useless for broadcast TV (since that's all digital now), but perhaps useful for unencrypted cable TV and/or for digitizing sources like a VHS player. Listed in order of "best to worst":
- Hauppauge WinTV PVR-500 (rev E792, dated 2007): This has two TV tuners, and one FM radio tuner. It connects to a single PCI slot on the motherboard, but has a breakout board that will take a second slot.
- Hauppauge WinTV PVR-150 (rev E5B2; dated 2006): Basically the same as above, but only one tuner, and no FM radio.
- Hauppauge WinTV 61371 (rev B523; dated 1998): Likely useless, I'm not sure.
