Can someone tell me what the difference is between these two cards is? I plan to use either SageTV or MCE2005 as the software to watch live tv, and at www.pcalchemy.com , these cards are $35 price difference. the 150MCE is $65.45 and the 250MCE is $100.


Looking at the detailed information at both pcalchemy and hauppage only really showed me that the 250 is supported under Linux. Does anyone see anything else?


Thanks.

The 150 has a single audio/video TV chip, the 250 uses one for each (2 chips) so the 150 is cheaper to make.

Ok, but in terms of quality of playback and capabilities of the cards, is there any difference?


Thanks.

From the few reports I've seen, they are equivalent functionally.

Is the PVR 500 out yet and is there anything different besides the dual tuners?
