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

Hi all,
Can anyone confirm or deny the compatibility of the Hauppauge
WinTV-HVR-1300 Internal PCI Analogue/ Digital TV card with Linux and
MythTV? Would Linux be able to use it's hardware MPEG -2 encoder for
analogue TV? Is it's remote control compatible?

Here is the card's web page:
http://www.hauppauge.co.uk/site/products/data_hvr1300.html

Computer info:
Distro: Sidux (which is very closely based off Debian Sid)
Mythtv version: 0.21 SVN
Kernel: 2.6.25-9.slh.1-686-sidux (I haven't upgraded the kernel in
ages, so there probably is a kernel upgrade available if need be)

I have the afore mentioned TV card on back order with Ascent. Now that
I know that Ascent does not always issue a full refund I thought I
would ask you guys about the card, and if need be cancel my order
before the card is shipped.

Cheers,
Steve :)

Hmm I answered this (and another message) yesterday bu the post never appeared.
So again...

I used the HVR-1300 as an analog tuner a year or so ago with Mythdora 4 (Fedora 6?,
Mythtv0.19) and more recently as a Digital tuner with Fedora 8 & mythtv 0.21 as well as
Mythdora5, together with 2 PVR150s. Currently I've I removed the HVR1300 as I
got poor reception for DVB-T and had to stay with analog. I plan to reinstall the card
once I can get round to setting up an external antenna for the DVB-T.

Be aware that you can only use it as a DVB-T _or_ Analog card, not both. I was a bit
disappointed in that as under Windows I could use it for both. Perhaps in a future driver.

John
