[mythtv-users] TV card suitable for a mini-PCI?

Hi, hope this is the right place to ask this...

I have a slimline PC that I'd like to convert to a mythtv media centre.
The problem is that it doesn't currently have a TV card in it and
finding mini-PCI cards (of any kind) can be tricky and expensive.  I
think I have 2 options in this case - find a mini-PCI card, or find an
external USB card that will work OK.

I'm wondering what is the cheapest option and if anyone has
recommendations on what card/device to get.

I'd like it to do hardware MPEG, just to save processor... although a P4
2.5GHz would probably cope.

Any advice greatly appreciated, thanks.

Alex
