I am in the planning stages for a MythTV box and my desired motherboard
has 2 PCI slots in which I would like to have 2 tuner cards so at least
one will need sound not linked through the internal soundcard.
btaudio support seems a bit hit and miss. A Hauppauge WinTV card seems
the best bet but here in Australia they seem to be twice the price of
other cards (~$200 vs ~$100) and due to region differences it might not
work anyway.
The other option I can see is a saa7134 based card (particularly a
LifeView FlyVideo 3000) as the driver supports audio through the PCI
bus. The only trouble I can see is that it is a vfl2 driver which
support for doesn't seem to being maintained in MythTV according to
Isaac's November posting. I've looked through the archives and there
seems to be a couple of people who had it working, but a few who
couldn't too.
Can anyone tell me if they are currently using a saa7134 tuner card (or
even better, two) with the 0.8 version of MythTV and if they are having
any problems with the setup.
Alternatively if anyone can tell me of a particular card available in
Australia that supports btaudio, that would be great too.
Thanks,
Rob.
