I bought a WinTV-PVR-150 from newegg to record my shows to my PC. They sent me a HVR-1600 so I can't use it in Ubuntu or any other GNU/Linux. I can use it in Windows fine but I would rather use it in both. I sent it back for a replacement and got another HVR-1600.
Should I try and send it back through Hauppauge and deal with trying to get the atual PVR-150 or should I just get my refund?
I have a DVD recorder upstairs and I can record my shows to it, rip the DVD, cut out the commercials with avidemux and then transcode it back into whatever format I want. The only downside to the DVD recorder is if I want to record alot of things in a row I will have to switch the DVDs out as DVDs have some pretty limited storage.
So what do you think.. $90 refund, deal with a little more time getting the videos off of the DVD or just go through Hauppauge and get a PVR-150?
thanks.
