Looked at doing the same thing myself, my research at my budget levels have led me to look at two cards.
 
The ATI all in wonder Radeon (circa £220), the Hauppauge PVR,
 
ATI AIW:
 
has composite\SVHS TV out
pause TV
SVHS in
Composite IN
TV Tuner
SW encoding
 
Hauppauge PVR:
 
pause TV
SVHS in
Composite IN
TV Tuner
HW MPEG2 encoding
Radio Tuner
Remote Control
 
The Hauppauge looks to suit the best BUT no TV out! aaarrrrggghhhhh....
 
also check out the WDM driver capability, as most software requires WDM drivers to function, limited support under VFW
 
I currently have a Hauppauge theatre something or other, plus a ATI AIW 128 although both capture fine with there native software neither does a watchable capture using the current PVR software I have tried.
 
My feeling is this is early days for this type of software and should be looked at again in 3-6 months...

Have seen a few movies in DiVx format lately as well as using some of the PVR software I'm considering building some kind of TiVo type server.
 
Anyone got any experience of this?
 
Are there any video cards that do MPEG2 compression in hardware as well as having good quality TV tuner and TV out.
 
Thanks
 
M.
