 I'm thinking of swapping my raging PVR250 card(s) for a Hauppauge HD PVR, but am a little concerned about getting the correct model.

 
I want to be able to connect my Virgin Media V-Plus box to it, so I seem to have a choice of the older HD-PVR, which will take, I think, a composite connection or the newer HD PVR2, which will take an HDMI connection.

 Note, it takes an *UNENCRYPTED* HDMI connection.  There's no support for HDCP like you'll find on nearly all STB's.
 Of the two, the older HD -PVR would seem to be the best supported,

That's an understatement.
 but there do seem to be different models numbers in each HD-PVR range.

 There are very slight differences in the accessories and extras.  (e.g. the Canadian model also comes with a manual in French which is not included in the US version.)  Of course, this makes no difference for MythTV.
 If you go with any of the square boxy units with straight sides, you'll be fine.  The new one with pinched sides and the HDMI input is incompatible.

 Thanks Eric,

 
Looks like I'll be looking on e-bay for a decent original model HD PVR.

 
Regards,

Dave.
