The -150 uses a different and newer video capture chip than the -250/350 (cx88 vs. saa7115). I'm curious to see if there's any difference in capture resolution in the -250 vs. the -150.Tomer Sivilya wrote:
Hi Guys,
I'm trying to figure out what is the difference between the PVR-150 and PVR-250 (except about $25)...
Do both of them supported by myth ? (the 250 I know is - what about the 150 ?)
Thanks for your help, Tom.
From a user point of view, there is not much difference between the cards. Both work in Myth.
The driver support is much newer for the 150. This means there are still some problems being worked out with it. It's getting *much* better - But if you really don't bleed over $25, get the 250.
Actually, it's not quite that simple. The 150 you're talking about is not a 150. It's a 250 blackbird.
The 150/500 uses a cx25840 as a capture chip - And the native PCI interface of the cx23416.
The blackbird uses the CX88 as a PCI interface and for it's A->D, etc and just uses the cx23415/6? as a dumb peripheral.

Allan. _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
