I have a TV card and I want to record programs with it. I've tried out mythtv, but it seems a little too much for me. Are there any other alternatives out there?
Try Kaffeine ..
If you tv card is digital it works a treat has timer functions ect ect ect i use it all the time
if your card is an older Analogue job i never had any suceses with recording at all

The next question might be, "what tv card do YOU use?" I would guess most cards sold now are digital? Kaffeine is quickly becoming quite the do-all media player. Thanks for the tip!

Hey There! As someone who has been recently very interested in PVR\DVR technology. I can assure you not all cards are equal and not all digital cards support digital cable tv. what you need to look for is 64\256 QAM usually a card that carries this standard also carries digital cable capabilities. Most cards right now hide the fact that there "Digital HDTV" is the "Over - The- Air" type, My suggestion for anyone looking into PVR tech this year (in the US) buy a cheap KWorld card , they have hardware encoding\decoding, digital cable\QAM and a 40.00$ price tag. I say this because in 14 months the market will HAVE TO INCLUDE digital cable support. Which does not guarantee the cable companies will broadcast all un-encrypted signals on the wire like they have to now by law, that law ends with the beginning of Digital cable-HDTV in Feb 09 At which time they are no longer required to convey any unencrypted programming at all.
