I started with one BTTV card, then added a PVR-150.  The quality difference
between the two was so marked, the good woman made me buy a second PVR-150 to
replace the BTTV.  Yeah, probably there was some settings tweaking that could
have been done, but the PVRs are absolutely worth the extra investment.
