>Subject: [<span class=SpellE>mythtv</span>-users] PVR 250 Install
Procedure? <br>
<span class=GramE>> <br>
></span> <br>
>I am going to add a second tuner to my <span class=SpellE>mythtv</span>
box. <br>
>I am considering adding a <span class=SpellE>pvr</span> 250 because I can
use the <span class=GramE>remote <br>
capabilities</span>. <br>
<br>
<br>
If the remote capability is your driving factor, don't rule out the <span
class=GramE>older <br>
Hauppauge</span> cards (<span class=SpellE>WinTV</span> PCI cards). The main
advantages of the PVR-250 <span class=GramE>are <br>
that</span> it encodes in hardware (so it doesn't tax your CPU), and it
produces <br>
standard MPEG-2 recordings that are viewable with other software on most <br>
platforms (Linux, Windows, Mac). However, bear in mind that if you tend <span
class=GramE>to <br>
record</span> a lot of shows and not watch them immediately, a PVR-250 will
fill up <br>
your disk very quickly, as the recordings can easily be 4GB - 6GB/hr, <br>
depending on your capture settings. Also, a PVR-250 will cost you USD$50 <span
class=GramE>- <br>
$</span>100 more than a regular V4L tuner card, plus (potentially) whatever you
end <br>
up spending on extra HD storage space. <br>
<br>
[<span class=GramE>snip</span>] <br>
<br>
>Also, will I need a second audio card to use a second tuner? <br>
<br>
<span class=GramE>Depends on the tuner card.</span> With a PVR-250, the audio
& video are both <br>
captured by the card and multiplexed into a standard MPEG-2 stream, so you <br>
don't need another sound card. If you get a standard V4L tuner card <span
class=GramE>that <br>
supports</span> <span class=SpellE>btaudio</span>, you also don't need another
sound card as the audio will <br>
be recorded directly from the tuner card. If, however, you get a V4L <span
class=GramE>tuner <br>
card</span> that doesn't support <span class=SpellE>btaudio</span>, then you'll
need to dedicate a sound card <br>
input to that tuner. <br>
<br>
<br>
Bottom line: your current system capabilities, budget, and overall <span
class=GramE>feature <br>
priorities</span> will determine what kind of tuner you get. <br>
