Newegg.com was pretty decent, around $150, and is fast. Plus, the quality of service from newegg, as im sure any nerd will tell you, is great.

Plus, be careful... PVR-500s have been known to have problems with some motherboards, particularly with a line of VIA chipsets. Additionally, the ivtv driver which supports PVR-500 is still very beta.On 9/28/05, Mike [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:Folashade Adeyosoye wrote: I think am going to get a PVR-500 along with my HD-3000, where is the cheapest PVR-500 on the net or store..

If you are using analog cable, then the V4L drivers will work with this card (probably depending on kernel version, your mileage may vary) in which case there is no conflict with the PVR-500.

RE: [mythtv-users] Where is the CHEAPEST PVR-500 out there
Am actually just looking on just using the new PVR-500 for now (one box front and back) and storing away the HD-3000 until I get digital cable and HD content (I only have analog cable for now). I went out and bought HD-3000 before there was a ban on it. :) -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Greg Woods Sent: Wednesday, September 28, 2005 10:33 AM To: Discussion about mythtv Subject: Re: [mythtv-users] Where is the CHEAPEST PVR-500 out there On Wed, 2005-09-28 at 00:24 -0700, Mike wrote: Folashade Adeyosoye wrote: I think am going to get a PVR-500 along with my HD-3000, where is the cheapest PVR-500 on the net or store..

RE: [mythtv-users] Where is the CHEAPEST PVR-500 out there
Also by the way, thanks to all that pointed me in the direction of using the V4L driver with analog cable. It worked last night (95%). Am able to bring up liveTV, BUT (the other 5%) is its coming up as snow, not totally black and white snow, but colored. and able to change the channels Am able to see the screen footer that shows the details of the channel Any suggestions on this snow issue * HD-3000 * Analog Cable * knoppMyth R5A156 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Brian M.

Are you splitting the cable signal at any point? Even outside the house? If so, you might want to check for signal strength issues by removing (at least temporarily) any splitters from the line. If that improves things, you probably have a signal strength issue, in which case a signal amplifier might help. There are also other threads on signal strength issues involving how to use crimped connections instead of screw-on to improve signal strength; if you are handy with tools (I'm not), this could also help. If you use a signal amp, put it as far upstream as possible, before any splitters, although it's not realistic to have one outside, so you may not be able to have it before EVERY splitter. I've got a three-way splitter outside the house, and inside, my computer is at the end of a 25-ft cable run (I have no cable outlet in the computer room so I had to run a cable through the wall from the living room). A signal amplifier helped get my PVR-500 to work well, but I was never able to put a splitter at the end of that 25-ft run without serious signal degradation. The HD-3000 with V4L drivers was much more sensitive to this than the PVR-500 was, which is why I suggest this as a possibility. In particular in my case, the low numbered channels looked much worse than higher numbered channels. But both cards worked reasonably well with the signal amplifier when I removed the splitter and connected only one of them, but without the splitter, I couldn't use both cards, so I too have removed my HD-3000 to use another day for OTA HD when I actually have an HD capable TV. I too bought mine because I feared they would soon be banned. --Greg ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
