I doubt it would be easier, although it might be better in the long term since the 250's use almost no cpu time and you integrate the audio and video so you can use multiple capture cards in a pc, without requiring multiple sound cards. Of course 250's cost $ and I'd rather not spend any on one now, so I don't know the actual difficulty in getting one working. Of course if you have multiple cards I guess you would need two ir blasters if you controlled external tuners. The setup for which might be harder.

If your having a problem getting video on that one now, it seems possible that the problem might carry over if you changed cards. You may want to consider something like tvtime to help troubleshoot the problem. That way you can test the capture card independent of myth. If nothing else, I'd try to figure out what has changed to cause that card not to work, while you waited on the other card, although I doubt going to a 250 is a fix in of itself. Its most likely just a different set of things to figure out.

Do you know if it would be easier to setup a PVR-250 given that it is
my first time?

audio, although according to lspci its standard bt878 audio, so you
should be able to get it using the antennae connection.. I think.. (I
haven't tried yet.) I used a separate ati rf remote.
