[mythtv-users] Hauppauge WINTV-PVR-500MCE

[Matt S.]

So, just to jump in here.  I currently have 2 PVR-250s.  I really need
at least 1 more source, and I don't know if it's best to invest in
another PVR-250, or a 150 or a 500.  It looks like the 500 (and 150)
are really still in development to the point that it wouldn't be a
simple plug and play.  Any advice?  The dual tuners on the 500 sounds
really desirable!  I run debian and a 3.x version of ivtv and 2.6.10
kernel.  I'll eventually add a HDTV card as well, so the extra PCI
slots are precious :)

Thanks!
Matt
