Well, that depends a bit, from my own experience with 0.1.9 I would have 
agreed with you up to a couple of weeks ago.... until I bought my second 
PVR250 that is, that's when I noticed that the 0.1.9 really doesn't 
handle 2 or more cards very well. It would always lock up my system a 
few minutes after having started a second recording.

So yes, try 0.1.9 first and if that work for you just stay with it, 
otherwise try one of the 0.1.10pre2 ones that people recommend on the list.

Cheers,
