There are a lot more different cards than I expected so basically which one is the no brainer choice and what can you recommend? I've seen cards from Leadtek/Hauppauge and Compro (never heard of Compro before, any good?)
Requirements are just watching & recording to hdd from freeview channels (not simultaneously), although analogue might as well be chucked in also. My pc is running XP 32bit and maybe upgraded to vista 64bit sometime in the future, also if possible linux compatibility would be nice if its used in the backup plan
All the cards have slight variations, what they all seem to have in common from the photos is some bloated software to schedule & watch tv. baring that in mind are there certain ones to stay well clear of?
Cheers,
Dan
