[mythtv-users] CompUSA has Hauppauge PVR-250 cardsat$99 atthemoment!

[Poobah]

  I picked up one of the new boxed ones on Saturday before the ad went out - works great.  Had to fight a little to get the driver compiled, but from the ivtv site, the errors I got were common.  The lspci-v command gives some slightly different info:
 
02:09.0 Multimedia video controller: Internext Compression Inc: Unknown device 0016 (rev 01)
        Subsystem: Hauppauge computer works Inc.: Unknown device 4009
        Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 18
        Memory at ec000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=64M]
        Capabilities: [44] Power Management version 2

  Now the programs are larger because the quality is better.  Gonna have to get a bigger HD....

	What is the difference between old and newly boxed WinTV PVR-250's? Are
	there some that don't work?  Sorry to ask if it has been covered but I
	just this minute ordered two of them and would like to know if they will
	work...
	
	TIA!

	The one I purchased is in an orange and black box (mostly orange). I
	believe this is the new box - the package graphics are different than
	the ones on the Hauppauge web site and the box in the advertisement.
	The box is labelled WinTV-PVR-250 Model 980. The sticker on the card
	says NTSC/NTSC-J 32032 REV B310.  Remote included.
