    I have gone through both specs and they look similar- except for the price. Am I missing something here? I'm sure there is a difference but I need glasses.

    TIA

    The 150 uses one chip, the 250 uses two.
    The 2 chip 250 gives better audio sync/quality, although the newest driver for the 150 supposedly fixes it's problems.

    Here's a link comparing the PVRs that Hauupauge makes.
    http://www.hauppauge.com/Pages/compare_pvr.html

    The PVR-150 is the new line, and I recently bought the retail version
    (wanted the remote). I am really enjoying the card. IMHO well worth the small price.

    I haven't had any a/v sync issues at all from captures of VHS or TV.
    The drivers are not as mature for the PVR-150 line yet but are fine for my purposes.

    Hope this helps.

    Forgot to mention that if you are patient you can usually find a good rebate. Got mine from Circuit City with $40 rebate for $60 US.
