I assume you mean for Linux. The IVTV driver is more widely tested for the PVR-250. Some time back, there were lots of complaints about the PVR-150 working under Linux, but that was a while ago, and the driver may be up to snuff now. From a functionality perspective, the PVR-150 doesn't fully support PAL. That's about it; there are a few more differences in how the electronics are put together, mainly to make the board cheaper to construct, and I am not sure what the picture quality implications of that are. I picked up a PVR-250 just for the peace of mind, knowing that it is better weathered with the IVTV driver. If you're going to go with the PVR-150 anyway, you might want to consider getting a PVR-500 instead, so that you can record two shows that are playing simultaneously on two different channels. The PVR-500 is basically two PVR-150's in one card. Mike .___________________________________________________________________.
