I remember seeing a list of tuners that are out of the box compatible with MythTV. Does anyone know where i can find it again? I searched the MythTV website, but couldn't find anything.

I'm planing on buying a cheap tuner, and installing LinuxMCE on my spare computer, to see how it works. And returning the tuner if I don't like it. As of now I only have a USB tuner, which isn't detected at all. I'm looking for a PCI one.

I have had great success with a Hauppauge PVR-350. Best card imo.
I think the PVR-250's are dirt cheap now and well supported too. It just doesn't have the hardware decoder.

I think there is a mythTV wiki with compatible tuners. I don't have the link handy but a quick google will find it. I read it a while ago. Edit: I decided to provide it:

But, I have a question about mythtv in Ubuntu and I thought I'd ask here rather than start a new theread.

I heard that Ubuntu was planning on having a more configured mythTV install or is it a built-in mythTV Ubuntu version? I wish Ubuntu would do this because I don't enjoy the fluxbox in KnoppMyth. ;-) I'm a linux noob but I'm learning but I don't want to compile or have to write long scripts in order to get things to work in a pvr system.

I know there is a pcHDTV tuner that only supports linux (to get specific to the thread). It's too bad Hauppauge isn't supporting drivers (for linux) with their HVR 1600, though. What I've read about it, the people using Windows pvr programs are quite happy with it. I'm used to the PVR 150, too.

There's currently no list at http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php..._capture_cards (noted above). I found a new list at
