I cannot speak to the merits of the PCR-250 ... but please DO NOT buy a 
"WIN-GO" (actual name: WinTV Go). At least not unless you can find one of 
the older ones, the ones that use a bt878 chip.

Newer WinTV Go cards use a different chip that is not yet supported by any 
v4l driver. Because the change was slipstreamed by Hauppauge, it is easy to 
make a mistake here. Consult the list archives for the details.
