Gents (and others),

As you know, I have been having quite a bit of success with my MythTV
box, and I think it is now time to finish the project (for the time
being), by returning the borrowed USB tuner to its owner, and buying my
own. Even my wife has started using Mythweb to schedule recordings!

Looking at eBay, there are thousands available, and of course, not all
work well with Linux/MythTV. However, I have spotted the following
items:

I'm tempted to go with the Hauppage WinTV Nova dongle, as it is
specifically mentioned on the Linux TV wiki, but would appreciate the
group's feedback/suggestions(!) on these or other options.

Cheers,
Jon
