[mythtvnz] Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-1300, Internal PCI Analogue/ Digital TV card

[Steven Mulvay]

Thanks for the info Nick. I will only use this card for analogue TV. I 
live in Taranaki and Terrestrial Freeview is not available here. I 
chose this card because of it's hardware MPEG 2 encoder. The reason I 
want to record analogue TV is that I like Prime, and the only way to 
get prime free of charge is via analogue. I will buy an additional TV 
card for recording via Freeview Satellite in the near future.

Cheers
Steve :)
