[mythtvnz] FW: Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-1300

[Steven Mulvay]

Hi James,
Given the trouble you've had, would you recommend against me purchasing 
the WinTV-HVR-1300 as an analogue card, or should I stick with it and 
try my luck at compiling the drivers? Now that you've got the analogue 
part of it working, how would you rate it as an analogue card? Is 
Mythbuntu able to use the card's hardware MPEG 2 encoder?

Cheers,
Steve :)
