Which PVR device to use? Give me a hint.

[jcee]

i intend to buy a tv card for my pc so i can capture video to disk and play the files with xbmc.

which devices do you recommend? i know about the wintv pvr. or are there alternatives? other manufactures?

what i would like to have ist a cheap pvr functionality. as i live in germany and do have cable tv and premiere (paytv) i really have problem:
- only part of the tv channels come digital. (premiere)
- capturing premiere digitally works great but i do have to care about the analog channels too :-(
- dvb-t dont seem to have alle the channels desired in the near future...
- not allowed to place a satelite dish :-(

thought about a "splitted solution":
1. premiere and digital => streaming via network to pc and from pc to xbmc
2. analog channels captured at pc (via pvr card which will not use all the processing power) => streaming to xbmc

imported would be that maybe(!) in the near future i could benefit from python script or whatever.. so channels selecting/streaming/viewing becomes more comfortbale..

thanks alot in advance.
