Reccomended dualtuner setup

ChristianW · 2005-11-21, 07:18 PM

Would you reccomend 2*Theatrix 550 or 1*PVR-500?
What are the pro's and con's?

The PVR-500 only requires one cable (unless you also want the FM).
You cannot run two 550 pros. ATI's drivers have a bug that prevents audio on the second tuner, so until that's fixed...(it's been months!)
The 500 doesn't come with a remote. Not an issue if you're using MCE (yuk!), and dual PVR-150's (one retail, one MCE versions) would be preferrable, or even one PVR-150 and one 550 pro.
