[mythtv-users] Recommendations - WinTV-DCR-2650 vs HD Homerun Prime

[Philip Isaacs]

Hey Eric,

I looked into the  HDPVR 1212 but I wasn't sure what the advantage of it
was. By the way there appears to be a few different models of the HDPVR's
that Hauppauge makes. Will any of these models work for me? Also was
it difficult to configure with your MythTV box.
