Hi Everyone

Now that Freeview has been around for a little while, are there any
recommendations on Freeview compatible TV Tuner cards running under
Ubuntu specifically or Linux in general? Experiences? Good/bad? Does
the EPG work?

I was leaning towards this Hauppauge WinTV Nova S2 card on Ascent for  $166.92:

But, I noticed the Waikato Linux Users Group, had a page recommending
the TechniSat SkyStar 2 ($145 from a seller on TradeMe!):

Any other recommendations?

Cheers
