I beg to differ, I talked to people at Hauppauge just yesterday about this very subject and they are a lot higher up the food chain than tech support. What I was told was that the 28552 card is not a WinTV-PVR-250 card and will not be released as such, there would be too much confusion as to...

Which ones please? I asked above to no avail.
Thanks
You can get the drivers for the WinTV-PVR Roslyn (28552) card at:
http://www.shspvr.com/mce.html
The patch is for the WinTV-PVR-250MCE also called the 32552 Amity card. I should be receiving a couple of 28552 (Roslyn) cards so that I can try and get the ivtv driver (thus MythTV) working with them. I'll post here when I have any info to share.
The Difference Between the 28552 (Roslyn) and 32552 (Amity) Cards
Contrary to what others might be saying, the 28552 card is *NOT* a WinTV-PVR-250 MCE card, it uses a completely different set of drivers than the WinTV-PVR-250/350 cards. The 32552 (Amity) card is the WinTV-PVR-250MCE card...
No, the patch is for the Amity (32552) card. The Roslyn card does not currently work with Linux.
BTW, the Roslyn (28552) card is NOT a WinTV-PVR-250MCE card.
With the hardware encoding that the WinTV-PVR-250 provides you are probably OK on a PII-400. You probably want to use a 7200 RPM drive for best results.
BTW, my company (http://www.pcalchemy.com) has the WinTV-PVR-250 MCE (OEM) in stock, at $99 it's not as cheap as z-buy.com (who is out of...
Unlikely that you'll ever see them at $80.00 again, Hauppauge was not happy about them dumping OEM cards so cheaply. Remember that these same cards with nothing more than retail packaging and a software CD retail for $149.99.
SageTV
I believe SageTV is by far the best PVR software available, at least technically speaking, and with the coming of SageTV 2.0 (in beta) it has a really slick UI.

Because even with the fast CPUs it is a problem. If you want to record one channel and watch something previously recorded, you're not going to do it unless your TV tuner provides MPEG2 encoding, I can guaranty that. Also, no matter how fast the CPU, you'll invariably get some video stutter...
These cards do hardware MPEG2 encoding, something no cheap card can offer. The advantage of doing MPEG2 encoding in hardware is it relieves the CPU from having to do it, and depending on what CPU you are using can consume 100% of the CPU making the computer worthless to do anything else. With...

Bringing home theater and personal computers together...
I'm the guy from "that store" (http://www.pcalchemy.com), the patch will work with multiple cards as long as they are all version 2 cards (I've got several of these MCE cards in a KnoppMyth box). That being said, I provided a card to the ivtv developers and they have fixed this in the ivtv...
I'm an employee of http://www.pcalchemy.com, we are now selling the same WinTV-PVR-250 MCE for $99.95.
To clarify a few things:
1) This card does work with MythTV, however the current [un-patched] ivtv driver is recognizing the card as a version 1 card and then the computer immediately locks...
