Introduction

The following is a list of capture cards available in Australia which work with MythTV for Australian TV. If you have any more cards to add to the list you can either edit the wiki yourself or send me an email and I'll add it for you.

Capture Cards for STB (Foxtel etc.)

Card	Compatibility	Notes
Hauppauge WinTV PVR-150	Yes	The driver for this card is not yet in the kernel, so you will need to download and install the drivers from http://ivtvdriver.org
Hauppauge WinTV PVR-500	Yes	This card contains two MPEG2 compression chips onboard (it looks like 2 PVR-150 cards to the system). The card has a single S-Video port, with a connector that allows an optional expansion bracket to provide the second S-Video port. The driver for this card is not yet in the kernel, so you will need to download and install the drivers from http://ivtvdriver.org
AVerMedia M150-PAL	No	There is no sounds output
Leadtek DTV-1000T PCI	Yes	This card works with a secondary sound card

Hauppauge Nova-T-500	No	Card sort of works with a recent Linux distributions, but reception seems poor. I have issues with ABC and SBS in Melbourne.
