 I have both a PVR-350 Hauppauge  and an HD-3000 from pcHDTV.  Of the
 two, I find the HD-3000 easier to use, and less expensive than the PVR-350.


Are you receiving and correctly displaying HDTV broadcast over the air
with these cards? If so, Which one do you like better for HDTV reception?
We're moving to all HDTV broadcast in my area of Florida in early 2006...

Do you have a wireless (infrared) remote controller working with either card,
for channel surfing HDTV? 
Any Recommendations on a remote controller with this sort of setup?

No,  I'm not doing any off-the-air.  Just S-VHS in.  Also, the Hauppauge card
is Std Def only, or more exactly - MPEG2.  Over the air broadcast, and most 
cable
and sat.  broadcasts are not of interest to me - the content tends to suck.

I played with the remote that came with the Hauppauge, but never got it working.
As I'm close to the screen, the remote doesn't really do more than get lost.  So
as lirc has improved, I never made much effort.

I've read that Ati's remote works well.  But mostly it seems that how much 
effort
you're willing to put into the details is the main issue on remotes.
