Hi, There are problems, but they may be fixable in some cases. There is an issue with the kernel modules used by the two types of cards. Also, a 150 or 500-card seems to require an unstable ivtv version. My PVR-350 and PVR-150 work ok though... now. Check my blog for info. /Fredrik On 6/30/05,

I'd definitely go 500, since you don't even need a splitter to get both tuners fed (the signal is split internally). Jarod, can you elaborate on this? Does this mean that if I want to use both of the tuners I can run a single RG6 cable to one of the inputs, then it'll split the signal off to
