PVR250 to PVR500MCE, any "gotcha's"
PVR500 just arrived today. Any gotcha's anyone can think off the top of their head when pulling one of my Server's 4 PVR250s and replacing with a 500? I'm thinking should be simply remove chosen PVR250 from Sage config, remove PVR250 from WinXP, powerdown, swap 'em, powerup and load PVR500 drivers, reboot, add PVR500 tuners to Sage.

Smooth as silk. Didn't bother removing PVR250 from SageTV or WinXP. Just shut down, pulled a PVR250, put in the PVR500MCE and booted XP. Installed drivers from included v2.4CD, verified only 3 PVR250 currently seen by Sage, installed both PVR500MCE tuners, tested and back in production in under 30 minutes. Cool!
  FWIW I'm currently hammering away testing 5x mpeg2 max Q recordings at the moment with one playing back on this PC as I type no prob. (HPTC turned off or I'd have 6 recordings going tossing in it's networked encoder for digital cable  )

I did back up the entire SageTV directory before doing anything else of course plus had a two day old Ghost of OS partition with no changes since then.
