>Hello mythtv-users,

>It seems that the more reading and research I do, the more questions I
>have.
>
>I have been researching the WinTV-350/250 PVR and the WinTV-HD.
>(Much thanx to Jacob and his thouroughly enjoyable guides and pages)
>
>Near as I can see, the ONLY difference between the 250 and the 350 is
>FM capability.  350 has it.  250 does not.  Does anyone using either
>(or both) of these products concur with that?  Or is there something
>else that is not in the spec sheets?
>
>With regards to the remotes.  I plan on having two WinTV PVRs
>installed, plus a WinTV-HD (more on that later). I forsee a remote
>conflict possibility. If so, can that be worked around? Also, is the
>IR sensor embedded in the card? Or is it connected by wire?
>
>Finally, I researched TitanTV as the PVR cards said it supported TitanTV.
>Is that how most Myth people get their programming data? What other
>options are available here in the US?
>
>With regards to WinTV-HD. What is it's relationship to the other
>cards?  It is billed as a TUNER, but I would think it would have to be
>a DISPLAY card as well.  Is that accurate?  Also, CNET REVIEWS gave it
>a "Mediocre" rating.....

>The comments made were interesting, but seemed to center around
>software issues which I am thinking won't be an issue with my use.
>I did find another card.  AccessDTV DMRS.
>http://www.accessdtv.com/accessdtv/choosearea.htm
>It seems to have better reviews and it's more then $100 cheaper then
>the WinTV-HD.  But is it supported?
>Are there other options for HD with MythTV?
>
>My apologies for all the questions, especially if they are stupid
>ones.  :^)  But I plan on putting quite a bit of time and money into
>setting up my MythTV system and I want to insure that I don't get
>half-way thru and find myself stuck.

>Many thanx in advance.
