I use the 2250 for OTA. It can record 2 OTA channels at one time.

I think the other can only do one digital and one analog.

It’s a Combo tuner, so it has one tuner for Analog (NTSC) and one for Digital broadcasting, Over-the-Air, (ATSC) or Unencrypted Digital Cable (ClearQAM)

DIAMOND TVW650PCIEV2 ATI TV Wonder HD 650 Combo PCI-E V2 NTSC/ATSC/Clear QAM
AVerMedia AVerTVHD Bravo PCI-ExpressTV Tuner
