[mythtv-users] Which tuner card to get?

[Keith Pyle]

Just FYI since there was some discussion about which tuner is on the 
Hauppauge PVR-500's.  I received a new  PVR-500 from Newegg last week 
and it has the same Philips tuners as my other PVR-500 that is a couple 
of years old.  Here are the ivtv init lines for it and my older PVR-500.

There's no apparent quality difference between the two cards.
