<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I am thinking of getting a Hauppauge PVR card to do the
capture and encoding for my MythTV box. I have read the mailing list and
have determined that I want to get either a PVR-150 or PVR-250. I am
going to use a separate card for output to my TV. My question lies with
the difference between the regular PVR-150 and PVR-250 versus the PVR-150MCE
and PVR-250MCE. I know that the MCE is designed for M$, but can you also
use the MCE cards in a linux environment? I like the fact that I can get FM
functionality out of the 250MCE, but don’t want to get it if that function
will not work. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Also, what are the main differences between getting a 250
versus a 150? I see that I can get 2 PVR-150 cards for the price of a
PVR-250. Would I be giving up an special features going with the 150s
over the 250? <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
