Pvr 150 / 500

[Slinkeepie]

I have my media center PC currently "working" with the PVR150. I've been having the same problem as many people with timestamps in some of my recordings, resulting in the inability to fast forward, rewind, etc. I read most of the posts dealing with this issue only to find out that the problem is really with the drivers for my capture card. So, I was thinking about adding a second card or replacing my 150 with the PVR500. Then I noticed that they use the same drivers.

My question is: if the problem is really the drivers, does the PVR500 have the same timestamping issue that the PVR150 does? And if the 500 doesn't have the same problem, wouldn't that mean that the drivers aren't the problem? I really don't want to buy a new card and still have to demux/remux or re-encode any of my recordings (although I only seem to have a problem with recordings which are longer than an hour....it's still annoying, though )

Thanks for any help on this!

Yes, the PVR500 uses the same drivers. It is effectively two PVR150's on one card. There are some PVR500 ownwers that indicate they have the same problem.

Not every PVR150 or PVR500 owners seems to have this problem. I've never seen it with my PVR500. I'm not sure how widespread the problem is.

Great, so it's another roll of the dice on the Hauppauge craps table Thanks for the help, Sub.

Have you tried the 23035 drivers, btw? These fixed the problem with timelines with my pvr-150.
