the delux works fine with a pvr250, stay away from the expert, and I'm not sure about the other one.

And yes my second remote is sitting in a drawer.

I have this card, and it works.
Your post was a while ago, but for people who find this
via searching the forum, you can get this
card to work if you
set the module option tuner=2 .
Once I did that it was working.
There are some threads in the forum that
describe how to set the tuner.

One way you may notice it's wrong
is that the channels are not clear and off by one,
so when you tell the card to be on channel 5 it shows channel 4
for example.
Setting the tuner=2 fixes that.

A negative on the card is
that you may not be able to get
the audio to work via btaudio, so
you have to patch it's audio out into your sound card in,
using the patch cable.
I'm not clear if this is a hardware fact,
or due to the current state of the drivers, but
I wouldn't count on ever getting btaudio to run with card,
so you must have a soundcard you can get working.

Some other bttv style cards can supply the audio
directly using btaudio, and they may be easier to setup
given the systems default settings.

I can confirm that btaudio does not work on the leadtek card, and most likely will not ever.
