I use the Hauppauge USB on my notebook and the hauppauge WinTVPCI on my
desktop. I also have an ATI Radeon on one pc attached to my TV, but I don't
find it as open as the Hauppauge boards (which have nice Linux support).
I also have a TiVo, which is nice (with it's added hard drive) for generic
recording and viewing on the TV. I use the PC's for recording programs that
I want to watch on my notebook when I travel, or watching the TiVo while I'm
working (or trying to work). I distribute video across this mess using a
channel plus modulator [1].

I just got the Hauppauge one. I'm going to install it and see how it
does
for recording shows.
