[Tfug] Linux PVRs

[Brian Dunnette]

Tried it using MythTV on my Duron 1.2, which seemed a bit under-powered,
although I never spent much time tweaking it... but from what I've seen,
MythTV is one of the best PVR/media center packages.  As for tuner
cards, pretty much everything seems to support Hauppauge's WinTV line,
so I'd check them out.  I had a WinTV-GO-FM as my only TV for about a
year, and was pretty happy with it...

Good luck!
