The PVR-150 *is* a less impressive card than the -250 and -350 were,
yes; that was the concensus when it came out.  And the -500 is a dual
-150.

But sure, analog is going to look less good than direct digital, DVB
people.  As for comparing Hauppauge cards to TiVos, I've seen a TiVo,
and I've seen a -250, properly fed and adjusted, and they're on par for
me, and I am not an untrained observer.
