    Well, only you can really answer that question.

    Both the PVR150 and PVR500 use the same chipset, so the only question really is if you think you would need 2 tuners or just 1.

    If you have 1 tuner, you can only watch TV or record TV.
    If you have 2 tuners, you can watch TV and record TV at the same time, or record 2 shows at the same time and do something else.

    I got a PVR150, as regular analog TV here in North America is supposed to be phased out completely in 2008/09, so im eventually going to have to go the HDTV route.

    If I have 1 tuner. Can I watch tv on my tv and record a show with the media center? Then I guess I have to split the tv kabel så both units get signals at the same time. Is this correct?

    That is correct. You can use your TV as usual if you split the cable. That mean that you can watch TV while the HTPC is recording another channel.

    Yes, unfortunately, this would need a code change to support it. Next time I'm doing something on the plugin I'll try and remember to add support for this sort order.
