Can someone with hardware an hardware mpeg2 card like a PVR-150 or
PVR-500 and a bt878 based card send me screencaps from both cards
comparing the quality of the two

bt878-based cards don't have comb filters. That means that the luminance bandwidth (i.e. sharpness on screen) blows goats. Maximum spatial resolution of such captures is about 400x480. For cards with comb filters, it's more like 540x480. That's the biggest difference in my experience... and I've captured test patterns with both to prove it (at least with my cards).
