Both are BT878 based. But they have different tuner chips. From what I have read and experienced the TwinHaun card tuner is much worst that the Avermedia tuner. But this is not a problem for me because both have mostly flawless picture even though the TwinHaun has 30% reception quality (as shown by MythTV) and Avermedia has 97%. My Avermedia card is giving me more problems because it has a bad antennae connection so sometimes I have a recording that is trashed and the TwinHaun card has a better antennae connection. > > I'm looking for something that (a) works with a Linux MythTV setup > (for a PVR) and (b) can be plugged into my Mac for simple portable > Ashes watching action this summer (not much else worth watching > ....). > > The Compro U500's seem sensibly priced ($99), but I'm unsure about > what chipset they have in them. Maybe you can convince your computer retailer to give you a trial. I did this with a card I bought and got a refund. As long as you ask before hand and the product is not shrink wrapped you may be able to return it or exchange it.
