I use the pvr 500 using the ivtv driver and play using mplayer. Works just
fine, native debian.

Greetings;

Does anybody know of a tv tuner/capture card that will work with Debian?
An FM tuner option would be nice, but not necessary.


I use a pvr 150 and a pvr500 from hauppage using the ivtv drivers. Not
strictly on debian though. It's a knoppmyth system -> knoppix ->
debian. But both those cards have worked in knoppmyth for at least a
couple of years... Might have to use lenny or sid though.

I getting ready to jump into MythTV using Mythbuntu. I'm collecting
hardware and the PVR-150 is on my list. One thing of note in my
research is that using the PVR-150 and friends on a VIA chipset seems
to have a lot of DMA issues. So I'm building this on an Intel chipset
box.

I think some of the via chipsets and epia mother boards (all via) have
real problems with that card. You are wise to stay away. I've got a
mini-itx sitting here just dying to go in a set-top box, but... i'd
have to move the capture cards to another system and run just a mythtv
frontend I guess.

No. I'm sure it's just a reassembled collection of old atoms that have
been around since the Big Bang. ;-)

Actually, I bought a Thinkcentre M50 tower off eBay for this project.
