I am just about to purchase one of these cards.
PVR-150 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6815116625)
PVR-250 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6815116602)

I am just wondering what one I should get? Thye both seem the same but the PVR-250 is like $50 more....

I just asked the same thing, check out this http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=7039

I asked the same thing a while ago but didn't really get a good answer... manly just "read the specs"

Actually the way I recall it is that you asked why the 250 was better, which comes down to some details in the specs. I also linked to the Wiki page which contains an executive summary that tells you it's probably not going to make any difference to you. As a matter of fact here is a link to that thread: http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=38290 Did you even bother to follow the links and read the pages?

It's really rather annoying to have someone repeatedly start new threads about the same basic FAQ that has been answered dozens of times in the past month, instead of following up on the original thread requesting clarification, or even better doing their own due diligence research.

Now, do you have a specific question that isn't answered by the wiki or the detailed specs?
