Recommended hybrid TV-card with hardware encoding? (1 Viewer)

Hi!

Looking through the list of supported hybrid TV cards I have a feeling that it is far from complete.

Can anyone recommend a good hybrid TV card (DVB-T and analog)?... Something that can be bought today.

I suppose it should have hardware encoding for the analog part since rumors (?) say that software encoding will no longer be supported in future versions.

I will run everything on one machine, no TV-server(?).

Thank you!

Ok, my HTPC project only lacks two things now, an LCD TV and a good TV card.

After installing MP I realise that I do use the new TV-server, running on the same machine as MP though. So, with that in mind...

Can someone recommend a good hybrid card (DVB-T + Analog) with hardware encoding on the analog part? I prefer PCI as I might want to use the only PCI-E socket for a graphics card in the future.

Does it make sense to buy separate DVB-T and analog cards instead of a hybrid? Are there any pros by doing this?
