From MythTV

Description
Cheap DVB card, supported in Linux by LinuxTV.
No need to repeat everything here, just go to the link below, Martin Smith has already thought of everything 8-) (thanks Martin). Last time I checked Martin also had 2 of these cards working in Myth together for multiple tuners.

Issues
If you suffer from a poor DVB signal, this will upset Myth, it's not a myth issue, rather (I think), related to the DVB driver itself, but backend will crash etc. etc, until you fix the signal issue.
I also noted that if you have a motherboard that has poor PCI data transfer support (I noted this with the SYNTAX SV266A) then you get what looks like bad DVB signal, but actually it may be the board. I transferred to a Compaq Deskpro EN, and its been fine. I also noted that the card is quite sensitive to RF noise/mains noise etc so watch that antenna cable routing in that rats nest behind the tv 8-)
Finally if your running the 2.6.12 linux kernel check out [1] as there's a know tuning bug.
Associated Software
All in the linuxTV drivers, BUT you need the firmware DLL from the Windows driver install (see martin's doc)
