Hauppauge PVR-150 MCE vs HVR-1300
Still struggling with my unknown card (see earlier mails), although I have now got it to work somewhat more reliable based on input here on the list, thanks!
So, to avoid a similar situation when building another Myth-TV box, I'm now wondering which card to get.
I need analog input (PAL), but wouldn't mind DVB-T support either. As such, the Hauppauge HVR-1300 would fit the bill nicely, but I'm wondering if the MPEG encoder is really supported or not, and whether this card can be brough to work relatively easily without any major hassles? I just don't want to go through all sorts of trial and error again to get it running stable.
If not, I guess the Hauppauge PVR-150 MCE appears to be a well supported and stable workhorse?
Comments or recommendations much appreciated, thanks.

The hardware documentation on mythtv's site may help:

Thanks, Keith, although I am familiar with the link and the resources linked to there.
The way I read it, it appeared that the PVR-150 "just works" and as such should be a safe bet.
So another way of putting my question is really whether the HVR-1300 would work equally well (since it is roughly the same price here, and appears to support also DVB-T)?

From the resources linked, it appears to not yet have MPEG encoder support.
However, from earlier mails here and elsewhere, it appears that some people may have MPEG HW encoder support working -- but additionally, some are reporting problems with it under MythTV, so I was hence wondering which is it...
Is the HVR-1300 MPEG encoder HW support in place now? Do a lot/at least some have it working well in their setup, using either Analog or DVB-T?
Thanks again for your reply,

I have the HRV-1300 in a VIA EPIA based system running mythtv. So far I have only tested the analog part (does not have dvb-t reception/antenna yet).

Well, the HW encoder is sort of working. The problem is that I cannot change channel (tuning) when reading the mpeg stream. I also have a problem with the audio being interupted about every 5 seconds with a loud static noice and then resuming to normal.
I haven't really put the time and effort into this part (the TV-card) of the setup, so at the moment I only have the MPEG device mapped in mythtv. Previously I tried the unencoded device node and that seemed to work, but unfortunately my system is too slow to recode this and re-read it for display to wath live-tv. Will probably revert to using the unencoded device since we don't use the system for livetv.
For information, system currently runs these software versions:
v4l-dvb from mercurial (last checkout was September 28) gentoo based system with kernel 2.6.25-tuxonice-r6 media-tv/mythtv-0.20.2_p15634

Hm... sounds to me that a PVR-150 would be a less-hassle project then, and I guess I can always add another grabber when/if I would need it.
Thanks for sharing your experience (or rather: "tack så mycket/mange tak" ;-)

Pull the latest master repro, test again. Report back. A number of audio related fixes were just merged.
Thanks,

Ok, sorry for the delay, I was out of town for a conference. Have now tried with the latest sources (v4l-dvb repo) but I still experience the audio glitches while watching the blackbird mpeg stream.
