I am wondering if anyone could give recommendation for TV tuner that would work with Fedora 12 and can get the over-the-air digital broadcast in the U.S. I don't need any fancy feature just the basic, in fact, the more inexpensive the better.
Any recommendation ? I've looked around but haven't found anything useful / definite
Lots of possibilities. Hauppauge alone makes about 5 different tuners, USB, PCI-E or PCI. A HVR950 is about $100.00 and is supported by the v4l project. Works fine. I have one running here.
Another choice the the HDHomeRun from Silicon Dust. Comes in 2 tuner or single tuner versions. It is an external box and talks to your computer over the network.
If you need more information, there are a large number of pages on the mythwiki at: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Category:Video_capture_cards
describing the pros and cons of a large number of video cards, all of which work under at least mythtv. By their nature that also means that they will probably work with other front ends: kaffeine, xine, vlc etc. G.
