[Gloucs] TV Card

[M.Blackmore]

Is there a budget analogue/digital card of choice for Linux? Last time I
looked ... granted in the last century (since the kids were born I
haven't done much pooter fiddling!) hauppage seemed very pricey. Or is
everything driven down so much in cost there isn't much difference
between a big name and a no name?

Does anyone do multiple receivers on a single card thus allowing 2 or
more save to disks at the same time etc?

There is an excellent article in the current Linux Format magazine.  To be able to record two channels at the same time, I presume you would need to tv cards.
