Just installed my 500MCE, and so far it's a dream. All sound and stuttering problems I had with my previous card are solved. The 500 also has HW MPEG encoding just like the 350. It adds the second TV tuner but lacks the remote (small issue if you have the MCE remote) and the DVD decoder. But isn't that built into MP nowadays? Anyhow, if I had to buy another tuner card, I'd certainly go for Hauppage and very probably for the 500MCE.
