pvr-150 over 1600?

[csmaster2005]

Is there any advantage of getting a 150 over the 1600?

I bought a 150 and it should come in the mail today, and today circuit city has the 1600 for basically the same price I paid for the 150 (it's $60 after a $20 rebate at CC)

I kinda want to just go ahead and upgrade, and return the 150 I got, but wanted to know what people thought about it

thanks

I'm using the 1600 and the reason i mainly got it was because if i get HD tv in the future it already supports it

I've read about people claiming that the 150 has better quality analog than the 1600, but have no basis for saying if its accurate or not.

I have both and I like the HVR 1600 better because of the QAM tuner. The cons to it are (and this is my opinion only), the analog sound is better on the PVR 150 recorded or live tv, of course neither compare to the AC3 on the ATSC tuner and I've had real problem setting the svideo input to run in PAL mode.
