Right, like I said 150 is fine but I'm just wondering if it is *worth* any
extra coin to get a higher model?

And is the 500 basically two 150s in one, and that's *it* or an improvement
in any other respects? Looking here:
http://www.hauppauge.com/site/compare/compare_pvr.html  I can see there's no
significant differences between the 150-350, so I'm wondering what the point
of having a 350 is unless I need FM stereo which I have zero interest/need
for in the card.

Oh and also looking here:
http://www.hauppauge.com/site/compare/compare_hvr-internal.html  I like the
idea of dual tuners, one analog and one digital so that should I go HD in
the future I'm already set. Same "worth the dough?" question for these :)

Thanks for the help :)
Bob
