Hello.

I think my one of old Air2PC-ATSC-PCI HDTV tuner cards, from 2005, died 
earlier today since it can't seem to get any signals from any antenna. 
My other one is still fine.

Does anyone know what's a good PCIE (PCI slots are hard to find in newer 
motherboards these days) HDTV tuner card to get? It needs to be 
compatible with both Windows XP+ (use DVB Viewers) and Linux (Debian 
stable).

Thank you in advance. :)

It was a few years since I bought my DVB cards also, and I have no 
experience at all from ATSC cards, but if I would buy such cards today I 
would start at this page:

http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Category:ATSC_PCIe_Cards

However, please be aware that all cards listed at that page are not good 
choices, if you click on some of them you will see that they are 
unsupported.

Wow. I thought HDTV tuner cards would be popular and supported well in 
Linux. :(

Maybe I wasn't clear, some cards are unsupported, but other cards in the 
list are supported out of the box from the kernel and some cards are 
supported by drivers from other sources.

Hmmm, http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV-HVR-2250 is 
supposedly a good one, but weak Linux support (drivers haven't been 
updated since 1/8/2011)?

I think I am going to get the full Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-2250 package soon 
which seems to be popular and supported in both Windows and Linux 
including third parties.

Don't USB ones have hardware timing problems (doing multiple 1080i 
recordings and playbacks) and can get very hot (my upstair room can be 
up to 90F degrees). :(
