Ok all you Freevo/Myth nuts...you know who you are! :)

If I am going to purchase a HDTV tuner card for my (future) PVR, what have
you actually *used* and can recommend?

Here are the criteria I am judging the cards on:
First: Active Linux support a big plus.
Second: Compatile with the current Frevo/MythTV version (or a shoe-in for
the next version).
Third: Price -- I'm cost consciour but then my experience is you get what
you pay for, too.

In general, I won't look at a card unless it supports Linux (duh).  On the
otherhand, I have a family to feed and I don't have a huge budget for just
the card itself.  Something in the sub $150 range is preferred.

Any ideas?

Dan
