Hauppauge said that the PVR 150/250/350/500 cards used the same chips in all of their models, unlike the WinTV-Radio cards. I figure FreeBSD driver compatability is a good cause for the money I spend on this. And, assuming my desire is the most reliable operation, which of the 150/250/350/500 cards is my best option?

It stated that haupaggue (sp?) had a production short fall of the pvr150 boards during the end of 2006. They were placing in the pvr150 box a newer digital model. I think it was something like HPM 1600 which has a chipset that is not supported by any linux distro. Seems haupaggue was enjoying the rapid sales of the pvr150 and a company statement said the newer model has all the functions of the 150 with the bonus of the digital functions. If your able check the chipset before you buy.
