Recommended PCI TV card for Ubuntu?

[Doctoxic]

Ok - i have looked around and found various hardware sites and forum posts but found it all very confusing and not entirely clear what works and what doesn't

Can anyone say for sure whether this card works ok with ubuntu 9.04:

Hauppauge WinTV-NOVA-T-500

or if not can you recommend a dual tuner PCI card that does work?

many thanks

It works fine for me

thanks for that

did you have to do anything special to get it working or will be ok out of the box?

also what software do you use to tune it and view progs?

many thanks

I use the scan command (from the dvb-utils package) to create my channels.conf file and then either vlc or me-tv for watching programs.
