Hauppauge HVR-1850/2250 are these supported (1 Viewer)

In the Wiki it states that the Hauppauge HVR-1600/1800 cards are supported, but there are newer versions now the Hauppauge HVR-1850 and it's dual tuner 2250 brother.
I have recently given up my cable box and now go directly to my digital tv, but if I could could use MP for everything that would be a better solution.
I am in the US and use Comcast cable. My TV gets about 50 or so channels both SD and HD. I have never used the TV feature of MP before.

Before I sink another $100 into my system I have a couple of quick questions please.

1. Are the 1850 and/or the 2250 supported?
2. Anyone with experience with either card and your opinion please?
3. Will MP be able to use the dual tuner part of the 2250 where you can watch a show and record another at the same time?

Thanks,
Mark

I'm living in Houston, TX and use the 2250 dual tuner without problems, I can make it work for FTA chanels and for the free, not encrypted channels on Comcast

I cannot get mine working for radio though. TV works well with the 2250 ATSC

Thanks.
Is there any reason not to go with the white box if I don't need a remote or an IR receiver?

I've seen *a lot* of people say this. If someone could post their log files then I would be willing to try and fix it...

I also have a Hauppauge HVR-1850 card. I use DirecTV as my STB and have a low-speed serial connection from the PC to the STB for channel changing. The STB is too old to have SHEF or an ethernet port. My television stays tuned to channel 3, and all tuning is done via STB. I'm in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA.

Does MP TV-Server work with this card & configuration? I've been working on it on my own with very limited success, so would appreciate any guidance.

I'm not sure how/where to configure TV-Server to tune to Channel 3, nor where to tell it to use the DirecTV tuner software to change the channel on my satellite box.
