PVR350 or 550Pro for a Shuttle XPC

[badonion]

Hello Everyone,

Another one of those "which" TV Tuner cards to get questions with a twist. I have a shuttle VIA KM266-based SK41G XPC Here is link

It only has one PCI slot and not much height (the PVR500 is out of the question) I have a PVR350 on order. However now I am getting a little worried about whether this card will fit the little Shuttle? Has anyone have a similar rig and tried? Also, I read the thread about Hauppage cards and Via chipsets not getting along? More worried now!

I have read some favorable reviews about ATI's 550 PRO (smaller then the Hauppage), and gbpvr supports it, which is great!

Perhaps the MSI Theatre 550 Pro TV Tuner would be a better choice? please feel free to throw in your opinions. I have to make a decision ASAP.

P.S. Was this gbpvr software featured once on the new Call For Help with Leo LaPorte TV show? I remember seeing something similar, I looked up the episode show notes, could not find the info about whatever it was called.

Thanks

There is Hauppauge 150 MCE Low profile that is designed to fit into your box. Check it out.

Good option to consider, thanks. My Shuttle is to be a dedicated TV PVR, DVD, Home movie, photo slideshow viewing system and net surfer for the kids. Currently have it working as such... except the PVR part.

This Shuttle has S-video out built on the mobo, and looks quite good with XP and for viewing DVD's. I like the specs on the PVR350 for the out to TV. I guess I don't really need out-put to tv with this Shuttle. My PVR350 order is due sometime next week.

Did a Hauppage site & Google search for the dimentions..All I could find was for the 250: 12.1 x 9.1 x 3.2 Will check this out (seems Darn BIG) If any one has a 350 handy and ruler, your input would be greatly appreciated.
