Conexant vs BT?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



I'm not sure if this is the right place to be asking this, but I have
been looking around on the internet for the last few days at tuner cards
and can't seem to come to the conclusion as to what the difference is
between the Conexant and BookTree chipsets.

I've read online that Hauppauge is putting Conexant 23880/1's in their
new cards as opposed to the bt's they used to put in them.  What is the
reason for this?  Can someone offer a real, objective comparison of
these two chips?  From what I have gathered these last few days, it
seems that the Connexant chipset is more capable and more viable a
solution.  I've read that the image quality is much better on cards with
these chips.

So anyhow, what is the _real_ difference?  Is there any reason to buy a
bt based card other than the fact that the linux support for it at the
moment is much better?

When I buy a card, I want it to last at least a few years.. and it looks
like the Connexant is the way to go.  Anyone have any thoughts or
opinions on this?  And _how_ alpha is this linux driver?  Is it usable? 
How actively is it being developed?

(I'm looking at buying the Asus TV Tuner at this point)?

Anyone have any feedback for these questions?

Thanks for your help!
