[mythtv-users] Need advice on 2nd PVR...250 or 500?

[Larry K]

Hello,

I'm looking for some advice on a 2nd capture card. I currently have a 
PVR-250, and an debating the merits of another PVR-250, versus the 
dual-tuner PVR-500. 

Some background: I built my 0.17 myth system using Jarod's excellent guide 
and Axel's stable packages. Last I checked, the ivtv driver that supports 
the 500 is still in testing. If this is still the case, and the stability is 
not quite there yet, I prefer to stay away from that. However, I'm really 
torn because for about the same price ($140 retail), I can get the 500 and 
its dual tuners, and then I'd have 3 tuners to play with, or I could just 
unload my existing 250, defray most of the cost of the 500, and still have 2 
tuners.

What would you do? Get another PVR-250, or bite the bullet and get the 
PVR-500?
