I am trying to decide between the Hauppauge HVR-1600 or the PVR-150. I plan to use this card in a server in the basement that I will never watch video on. Its only a server to decode the TV signals and provide the DVD feeds, etc. My OS will be the latest Mandriva and I am running a XP3200+ on what I think is an Asus A7N8X-Deluxe with nforce2 with an AGP RIVA128 video card. (Don't hate!)
I see the HVR-1600 is not 100% supported so it concerns me as I am an ivtv/MythTV noob and don't want to bite off too much new stuff at once. Haven't even installed it yet. Plus, do I really need clear QAM? is that any better than the same channels on analog cable? The PVR-150 looks like the choice. I don't need a remote because this is only a server. But it looks like I have to watch out because an HVR-1600 may come in the PVR-150 box? Makes me wonder if I should just order the PVR-150 and if I am lucky enough to get an HVR-1600 then just call it a bonus and deal with it!? Thanks for your tips or pointers to reading material which I know newsgroup like to point you too :) dnoyeB P.S. Remember, I don't really need decoding right? or will this help when I serve the signal?
