Dear All,

Can anyone recommend a TV-tuner card that works well on 4.x or 5.x

Thanks in advance

That's a Pinnacle PCTV Pro PCI card.  It uses the Conexant (formerly
Brooktree) 878 chip.  In North America it's got an NTSC tuner on it, and
everywhere else, PAL or SECAM as appropriate for the locale.

It works fine in 4.x and 5.x.

Any Brooktree/Conexant 848 or 878 based card should work fine.

	I used (until my recent discovery of MythTV, which requires Leenooks) an
"ATI TV Wonder VE" card with RELENG_4_5 up through RELENG_4_8. I would
assume it still works. It's a bt878 card, and you should be able to pick one
up for around $30USD or so.

	I have had zero issues with the card, and highly recommend it.
