[mythtv-users] Where is the CHEAPEST PVR-500 out there

[Folashade Adeyosoye]

Am actually just looking on just using the new PVR-500 for now (one box
front and back) and storing away the HD-3000 until I get digital cable and
HD content (I only have analog cable for now). I went out and bought HD-3000
before there was a ban on it. :)

This has been covered on the list recently. It depends on what you are
using for input to the HD-3000. If you are using analog cable, then the
V4L drivers will work with this card (probably depending on kernel
version, your mileage may vary) in which case there is no conflict with
the PVR-500. I did have both working in my machine at one point. It is
likely, however, that if you have any kind of digital input to the
HD-3000, the V4L drivers won't work, but I have not personally verified
that.
