The Amity2 family (PVR-150/500) are considered better (with comb filtering among other), but the PVR-350/250 were already doing a great job, so you won't be able to really see the difference. > Are there any issues making two 150s work in the same box?

Probably because they aren't much different in hardware quality. The difference are more in price and Linux support. As a new product the PVR-150 had no drivers initially, but the ivtv project was amazingly fast in picking up support (considering that the card is very different, only the mpeg encoder is the same). Currently the PVR-150 Linux support is mature enough to not consider this difference. -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
