AFAIK, the 150 and 500 cards are the same, except for the fact that the 500 cards has two tuners on board. Which is nice if you want to record / view more than one show at a time. Both 500 and 150 are a "newer generation" than the 250 and 350 card, but if that matters I don't know. HTH -- Regards, Torfinn Ingolfsen
