Whats in your box? (MCE)

What is your TV tuner of choice for PVR function in MCE?

Just trying to get an idea of what everyone has had success with.

Thanks.

ATI eHome - blue screens with more than one tuner (spent 2 weeks on this one and finally gave up)

Avermedia M150-d (M1500 MCE oem) - would not play well with other cards in general

Hauppauge 150mce - Excellent results with no config issues running 2 tuners


As far a picture quality I found the Avermedia's s-video to be the best of the bunch and the ATI s-video to be the worst. When it comes to the actual built in tuner quality the ATI was the sharpest and had the best overall color. The Hauppauge 150's a very close second.
I noticed there are 2 versions of the 150. 1024 & 1042 Whats the difference? Which is better? Cant find the 1024 anywhere right now but plenty o' 1042s.
eVGA NVidia NVTV Dual-tuner. Rock solid.


Had a PVR-250 (non-mce) before. Picture on the NVTV is much nicer IMO.

I think one is a low profile version.
Hauppage PVR-250 card. Basically the same as the 150.

Ati HDTV Wonder.


Everything seems to play quite nicely together.
