DVR Review: Hauppauge WinTV-PVR150 Media Center Edition

Image Hosted by ImageShack.usRichardBerg: Review: Hauppauge WinTV-PVR150 Media Center Edition

Richardberg.net reviews the Hauppauge WinTV-PVR150 complete with sample screen captures illustrating image quality.

The PVR-150, despite its name-of-lesser-cardinality and cut-rate pricing, is actually the replacement for the PVR-250. I've had it confirmed that Hauppauge has been making such 'Roslyn' boards exclusively for at least a couple months. Why? Well, the overarching magic of the computer industry has historically been tighter circuits giving rise to better deals, and sure enough we have here an example of Conexant's integrated "Blackbird" CX25843 reference designs∞ becoming much cheaper to manufacture than the PVR-250's hybrid chipset (mpeg2 from Philips, audio from Micronas).
