That info did'nt help... Here is where I am at... I tryed Beyond TV, and did like it. I would like to get GBpvr working, But I need a better Capture card. I would like to get a Hauppauge card.. But witch one will work best for me? I have StarChoice sat. (I'm in Canada) I run windows XP pro, 1.6g Mobo. and I have a 'Jeteye' dongle working with Girder to change channels (pritty impressive for $2.50), Remote wonder, 32meg Tvout video card. Are the issues solved with the win350 card (freezeing in live tv)? any input would be helpfull thanks!

Some people have problems with this. Some people dont. Its not worth the gamble in my book.

I also no longer actively develop for or support the PVR350's TV out, so I wouldnt recommend this device.

If I did purchase the 350 card, would I be forced to use the TV out on it, or could I Have the choice to force to my tv out on my Video card? Only reason I ask is, I might want to use this card in a different setup in the future. the price difference between the 250 and 350 is only $10.

No, you can just use it as a capture card if you like.

yes but the 150 is newer that the 250 and according to some, has a slightly better picture.

What about the 500, you get 2 tuners in one card - very useful once you start getting into scheduling lots of recordings.

I dont intend to use the Live TV too much.. I think it will most likly be mostly for recording and playing. So a dual card really is'nt worth it. besides. I can get the 150 cards (OEM) for $80cnd. so If I end up needing a second tuner....

Yeh, i think the 150 is the one to go for but my point about having 2 tuners was not about being able to watch live tv (i rarely do that on the pvr) but so that you can record 2 programmes at the same time (or when they overlap one another).

Sounds like a 150 would be a good start then... Considering cost. Thanks for the help.. the specs all look good on paper, but I guess real life testing is proof of quality and performance. If I had 2 or more cards installed and they were all recording something, How would that effect the cpu, and would the record quality suffer?
