I am looking for a Low-Profile PCI card that has Hardware MPEG2?

I have seen Maui-III PCI PVR, but i don't know where to buy it. is there other choices that will work with SageTV?

Check out this thread about a yuan half-height tuner card.

EDIT: Looks like NewEgg doesn't have it anymore.

Yeah, when I posted that I didn't realize that NewEgg didn't have it anymore. I did a quick search and I only found NewEgg and a place in Australia... sorry.

Actually, Hauppauge does have a half-height clone of the PVR250 cards; it's the Model 30xxx (aka Baldwin) and targeted at MCE OEMs.
(the xxx varies based on tuner type, inputs, etc)

Drop a note to sales@hauppauge.com , they might be abe to sell you one.

Other then that try reading about ATI eHome Wonder

So to recap:

Hauppauge Model 30xxx (can't find one?)
ATI eHome Wonder (where in the USA sells it?)
Maui-III PCI PVR (where in the USA sells it?)
Yuan half-height tuner card (where in the USA sells it?)

No specific info, but I have always found that typing in the model number into Google or Froogle always gets me leads on where to find hard-to-find stuff.

BTW my brief encounter with the Yaun card was underwhelming... stick with the Hauppauge product if you can.
