I've been using Myth for years, first with a Matrox Marvel G200 and later with a generic bt878 card and now I'm planning to upgrade to a newer capture card. I'd like to be able to add a second capture device later and I only have 1 slot free (actually 2 but I'm planning on a better sound card for the other one) so I think that leaves me with either pvr-500 or a pair of Plextor USB boxs.
Any opinions on which of those two is likely to be the most solid/reliable as well as having the best quality. I know some of the older Haumpage cards are very common here but I've seen mixed reviews of the pvr-500 and pvr-150. Reliability is most important due to WAF but I'm not afraid to fiddle a bit at the beginning. We tend to keep recordings around for quite a while so I'm leaning toward the Plextor since it uses mpeg4 and I'd likely end up having to transcode most of what comes out of the Haumpage in order to make it all fit. Also, and I'll likely post a seperate message on this, I'm also going to be adding a better sound card, something with surround sound since we recently bought a HT receiver. Any opinions on ones that work especially well with Myth (no audio sync issues etc)? -- Ray
