Difference between Hauppauge cards?

[kelemvor]

I was viewing this page over at the Hauppauge site:
http://www.hauppauge.com/pages/compare_pvr.html

And it doesn't give much information.

I know the 500 has Dual Tuners
I know the 350 has Video Out.

But what's the difference between the 150 and 250?

I have a 150 MCE right now and am thinking about adding a second card if I can find one for cheap. Was going to just get another 150 or 150MCE and use that but don't know what the difference is with the 250.

Can anyone help?

Not much but the 250 is older design/hardware. Also runs a little hotter. Unless you need closed captions stick with the 150.

I hate when companies have F'd up numbering schemes for their products. Higher the number should mean the newer (and better) the product.

yup, the 150 even has a better A/D converter, i think it went from 8-bit to 9-bit when doing the calculations

Actually I think it's 9-bit (Phillips) to 10-bit (Connexant).

So I take it then that the 500 doens't support CC since it's basically two 150s, right? From what gplasky said, it looks like the 150 doesn't do CC support.
