I’ve used hauppauge for TV. But you need to
be more specific. What kind of TV? Things
have changed… are you wanting just HDTV
via ATSC (United States)?
Are you wanting something that will handle
analog NTSC and composite as well? etc…

I want to see the analog air TV channels here in Uruguay, and I don’t
discard the chance of digital TV, I was thinking in the Asus TV P7331
PCI, what do you think?

I’ve used the USB based Hauppauge WinTV PVR USB2 as well
as the Hauppauge WinTV HVR 1950.

In my case, it’s NTSC over air and both work well with openSUSE.
But they are considerably different from their PCI counterparts
with regards to driver.

In both case, analog captures use a built-in mpeg2 encoder. So
the output is mpeg2 and it streams well. The HDTV side of
the 1950 is just a raw capture of the ATSC mpeg4 (sic) stream.

The encoded mpeg2 is interlaced… so you might want to
deinterlace when viewing. There used to be a ctl_interface
driver option… it’s not there anymore (author didn’t like
the results anyhow).
