Hi Hans,

Sorry for my late answer, but I had an hard week end :) I'm still with
svn version 2693, but I'll try the latest version and send you my report
as soon as possible.

I have a pvr150.
For now (2693) :

I have a PVR-150MCE (sold as a 250MCE in a box so labelled, but an identical card to a 150-mce bought later)
I'm using the latest svn as of yesterday.

This is ok for me.

Sound is OK for me although did note timing problems through mythtv 18.1 (2.6.12 kernel).

The stability of the picture seems it might be a little unstable. A restart of mythtv seemed to get around the picture problems.  It was like the card was splitting into sections, I could see part of one channel in onepart another in another and classic untuned pciture in another corner; never seen this before...

Yep. I have this problem with 2693. But I'll tell you if I still have
this problem with the latest svn version.

With my card, I see ghosts when I watch the TV. Always 2 or 3 ghosts of
people. I don't know if it's my antenna or the driver.

Most usually my picture quality is excellent.  The best I ever had was with release around the 27th of June (0.36h?), nothing short of perfect, but a forced m/b & processor upgrade toward the end of August has left me with a dud system till now.
