Hauppauge WinTV-PVR-150 at Circuit City for $60 (150 compared to 250?)
Circuit City has a deal on the 150 here. Can this be used with the PVR-250 easily with no hassles/compatability problems? Does it do hardware encoding like the 250? I just want to make sure my super slow system can run both ok.
Thanks

The 150 is a hardware encoder; see Hauppauge's 150 info page or their PVR product comparison.
Among other comparisions on this forum is this one: WinTV 150 vs 250/350. (I searched for '150 250'.) - Andy

If I remember right (correct me if I'm wrong!) the PVR-150's drivers do not support closed captioning (CC)...
Or maybe that was just the MCE version.. Can't remember for sure now. Not a huge deal, but the CC info is very useful for improving the accuracy of the commercial detection. Jason
