[QUOTE="235301, post: 141431, member: 49087"] I have Media Portal setup and working well with a single PVR-150(all I can say is wow compared to GBPVR, tweaked GBPVR for a week before finally having had enough, almost out of the box MP was better than GBPVR, except for xmltv, what a PITA that was). Anyway, I want to add a second card to do both analog and HDTV. As I understand it QAM is basically out of the question right now on MP(would love to have the QAM option). So as I see it my choices are HVR-1600, HDTV Wonder or ATI 650. I would rather not spend more than $80-$90 for the card. It looks like the HVR-1600 has just recently made it so it works under MP with tweaks from users. The HDTV wonder is well supported but the comments have been that the analog tv quality isn't up to snuff. And the 650 seems pricey for me at my first stab at HD. Any suggestions, comments on the different cards or even other suggestions? Since the HDTV Wonder has been around for awhile there are plenty for cheap on e-bay. How much worse than say the PVR-150 is the picture quality on HDTV Wonder? [/QUOTE]
