Just got one of my M179s up and running alongside my PVR-250. I see 
pretty much zero difference in picture quality between the two (and 
this is on a 47" HDTV, so I could tell if there was). I'm using the 
patched up driver Robert Kulagowski put together, along with the 21288 
firmware from Hauppauge.
