i have two identical boxes (apart from the case they are identical)
one is running debian 2.4.25 with tv-out from the pvr-250 using ivtv-fb
the other is running gentoo 2.6.4-r1 with tv-out from the epia-m900 using
libddmpeg
the hauppauge wins hands down - no doubt about it. which is really really sad!
the quality of the epia is like a bad vcr, the pvr350 is close to the original
signal as to be almost indistinguishable
using the epia would have meant a cheaper capture card and audio going across
the pci bus instead of out and in via the audio out on the tv-tuner and audio
in on the motherboard
has anyone else tried this side by side comparison
and just FYI
the sound from the epia is delayed about a half a second compared to the
pvr350
