Yeah, I see about a 5-10 second pause when starting the card on live
TV, but once the TV is up I se only about a 3-4 second pause to change
channels. (This is from memory - I'm 350 miles from the card right
now.

On recordings for the two days I was there after I got it working I
consistently missed the opening credits. This does not happen with my
250 locally. I was possibly mistaken in thinking that was caused by
the system time being off. Fact is I didn't get to the bottom of that.
(Or about 5 other small problems I see with either the 150 of the
250.)
Good luck on the recording.
