If I was building a little TV recorder, and wanted to use this driver, is thre a way of telling which Hauppauge cards I can and can not buy?
In theory WinTV-PVR-250 (model # 980), WinTV-PVR-250MCE (model # 975), and WinTV-PVR-350 (model # 990).
There are various flavors of the cards with various tuners ... the driver is currently being used with PVR 250 version 1 and version 2 cards as well as PVR 350 version 1 cards. The driver has support for Phillips, Temic, and LG Innotek tuners.
Due to the issues with different card flavors and different tuners it's hard to tell if a specific card will work without taking it out of the box and trying it. It's likely to work, and if it doesn't then it's likely to be an easy patch to the driver to add support for the card. However, there's always the possibility of a card which is just different enough to make it a major ordeal to get running.
Keep in mind that the driver only supports encoding audio with video. There's no support for the radio or the MPEG decoder present on some models. Some of that may change in the future, however no promises.
