PVR-250's on the cheap

Post #1 of 11 (2780 views)

Since this has been announced for future support I had to post this one
for all to benefit. These come with no drivers (oh no!) and are only
the card. Computer geeks is still guaranteeing no DOA for 30 days.

Wow, that's a great deal.

Anyone (Isaac?) know how Isaac's coming along with his card? The last I
read, he was waiting for delivery. I'm considering ordering one (who
wouldn't for ~20% of the usual price), but I'd rather not spend even that
much for something I won't be able to use with Myth.

And does anyone have any idea about whether it would be a problem to have 2
(or more) of these cards in the same box? Other than the fact that Jack
Valenti and Ted Turner are going to show up at my door, accusing me of
outright thievery because I don't want to schedule my Sunday around Iron
Chef?

MythTV supports dual tuners so, I'd assume, two PVR-250's would be
supported once the card works in Myth.

However, you're out of luck on this deal. They're gone. I was actually
in the process of ordering and their site timed out on me. Tried doing
a reload and it wouldn't come up. I called them and they said I'm out
of luck.

Did anyone here happen to order extras? I'd be willing to buy one. ;)

I bought two of them. Hopefully it'll work... Sorry. I hope the original
poster bought all he wanted before sending out that email. ;)

If anyone needs the original CD drivers for these, they can be found here:

http://www.shspvr.com/pvr2_drv-apps.html

hauppauge does _not_ have them anywhere on their site, and the updates
will look like they did something useful, but they don't, without the
original install =)
