What is a good card or using with SDTV? a.k.a making an HTPC. And also converting old VHSs. Hauppage is the main brand? And what about VistaView? I've heard things about them.

SDTV=analog

Hauppauge, Hauppauge, Hauppauge

accept no substitutes

here is my DVR: (Fedora Core + mythTV compiled from trunk)

Athlon 64 x2 4200+
1GB DDR2-400
nVidia video card (For linux XvMC - not that i'm using it)
1 Terabyte of storage in ext3 LVM /media/mythtv (250GB + 250GB + 500GB drives)
Hauppauge PVR-500
Kworld ATSC 110

will probably be adding a Hauppauge HVR-1800 to it in the future
HVR being HDTV?

yes and

2 tuners

1 ATSC/QAM tuner
1 NTSC Tuner w/ MPEG2 encoder

both tuners can be in use simultaneously
