true true.  pvr 150s are getting cheap.  I just like to go on and 
complain every once in a while about the all in wonders.  they are such 
great cards with the hardware assited encoding and all-in one setup and 
all.  alas.  who am I kidding anyway I wouldn't have the extra 9700pro 
if I didn't replace it in my gaming machine with an x800pro modded to xt 
pe via the bios mod.  But yeah maybe I should grab a PVR150 and finally 
get to two mythtv machines like a proper household.
