I use Hauppauge PVR-150, there are cheaper cards then Hauppauge ones,
but Hauppauge cards have a good quilty MPEG 2 encoders. The PVR-150 is
there lowest price card but I would recomend it. I connect my video
from Sky Digi box Scart connection to PVR-150 on the composite
connection then S-Video, I think via the composite you get better picture.
Also Hauppauge is keen to have there hardware on Linux something which I
can not say about some of the cheaper ones. You are looking at price
range between £50-£200 on a Hauppauge card. I would check on there web
site first for Linux support but think they are all supported on Linux
but I havent had look.
