If the ability to record is secondary, I'd go with the simplest cards. I have a Hauppauge WinTV PVR-150 card, which is excellent for recording (I was actually too lazy to set up a full DVR - we record using a glorified "cat /dev/video0 > show.mpg"), but it is much more difficult to watch live TV with it (couldn't get it to work, even though, in theory, /dev/video24 should work just like with the dumb card).
Except for the fact that over the air analog TV broadcasts are scheduled to stop Feb 2.If you don't have HOT, YES, or a private satellite dish, the cards will "go dark" without an external decoder.
