[mythtv-users] Mini-ITX Sized P4 Board with TV-Out and SPDIF Out!

[Michael Peay]

Unfortunately, we get back to the "low profile tuner card issue"(tm) as 
both those cases have 4 lp slots.

So, I'll ask... Does anyone know of a low profile tuner with decent v4l 
support that also works with btaudio? ;-)
