I need advice about hardware :) Tv tuner, Video card,etc..

[Coume - Lubox.com]

Hello,

My ATI all-in-wonder (2years old model) died one week ago... R.I.P.
But this decided to build a new computer from scratch, brand new and the
most important only running linux...
As this computer is aimed at being a "multimedia box", in fact it's in
my room and it is my Tv (linked to my VHS player), DVD player, music
player, etc..
I need to find hardware that are totally compatible with linux, and
that's the more difficult thing to me :(

The most important one is the TV-tuner and the Video card...

Is one of you actually using a TV-tuner under linux? Which one would you
advice me??
- good quality of tuner
- The perfect thing would be with integrated MPEG2 encoding/decoding
- with a TV-out and TV-in
- a remote (integrated or an added one if it can work under linux)

Any advice and experiences with your TV-tuner and video cards, the one
to avoid or the one to buy! Feel free to let me know :)

Thxs in advance
Ludo
