HDTV: AccessDTV or MyHD?

I've poured through all of the threads on HDTV support in SageTV and so far I've not been able to determine what HDTV card works best. Here is what I've been able to figure out so far, please correct me if I'm wrong:

AccessDTV

-Older card.
-Appears to be a little bit cheaper.
-Can't record and playback simultaneously through Sage TV.
-Very good community support.
-Various reports of stuttered video playback. (dropped frames?)
-Unable to select subchannels in SageTV
-Difficult to configure so that HDTV appears on both Component TV and VGA monitor.
-FireWire DVHS support unknown


MyHD

-Newer card
-More expensive, especially with component video output option.
-Don't know if it can record and playback at the same time.
-No reports of stuttering in playback
-Subchannel support in SageTV?
-Conflicts with PVR250 (not a concern for me as I plan to continue to use my TiVo for non HD recording)
-FireWire DVHS support unknown

I'm hoping to buy my card this weekend. Help me figure out which one is the best HD-PVR solution. (Maybe it's something other than MyHD or AccessDTV.)

Thanks,

Jeremy

I dont know which one you settled on .. but the AccessDTV is the only card that can pause/rwd/fwd live tv .. a deal breaker for all the other HD cards out there.
