wait, a pvr150 is a TV capture card not DVB though, if you wanted
terrestrial free to air for eg for prime and local UHF stations, you'd
still want something like a pvr150.

On that note, (to the rest of the list...) I can get 2 different
pvr150's one is about 20% cheaper but it says for microsoft media. Is it
just without a remote? The card hardware surely must be the same, right?
