Is it easier to get a couple of 150s working or the 500? -- _\ | /_ (@ @) -oOOo-(_)-oOOo- ~ Mark Gardner ~ ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

In fact it's usually more expensive than 2 150's Well, newegg charges $72 for a PVR-150MCE, and $138 for a PVR-500MCE. It's not a lot cheaper, but it *is* cheaper than 2 PVR-150's.

Re: [mythtv-users] WinTV PVR 150 vs WinTV PVR 350
You probably want the 150 MCE since, as you said, you are only using it as a backend. Amazon has it slightly cheaper than newegg, but then newegg is almost certain to get it to your door faster. I suppose if your sure you want 2 of the devices you might get a 500, which has two on a card. I see no advantage for the 500 over a couple 150's, other than saving a pci card slot.

[mythtv-users] WinTV PVR 150 vs WinTV PVR 350
Hello. I am about to order a new PVR card since I am not able to use the hardware encoding on my Winfast PVR2000 card. Which one of these two cards would anyone of you recommend? WinTV PVR 150 or WinTV PVR 350 Does both work with hardware encoding in MythTV? I have no use for the extra functions in the 350 card since I will only use this card for the backend which is located away from the TV. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
