I have the pvr 500 myself and I do like it although its been a bit of work to get the card to work reliably, the drivers are still fairly new. Once you get it working the quality of the video is very good, much better than the cheap winTV Go I had before this. > In summary, I have Xbox frontend so that covers my video out and I > want to watch and record shows at the same time, so I need a dual > tuner card, is this right?
