Just make sure you get a PVR150, or PVR 250. I do not recommend a PVR 500 as some people are having video quality issues (I have once such card) with the samsung tuners and the signal amplifier that the current model of pvr 500s have. Also there are a few discussions that some vendors are selling PVR 1600s as PVR 150s and this is a problem as I do not believe the current drivers support this model. Someone correct me if I am wrong on this one...
