And for those who are not aware, the Hauppauge PVR-150/250 cards also
have a second set of S-video and Composite inputs each, so each
actually has:
1 - RF - NTSC
2 - Svideo
2 - Composite

The PVR-500 actually has a total of 4 S-video and 4 Composite inputs
using the additional card slot adapter.

I have seen those who are not aware of that due to the fact that the
additional card slot adapter and cable were not included in most
versions of retail packaging for those cards.

Here is a Hauppauge link showing these on the various models:
