attn: Plextor PX-TV402U owners

Any of you folks that have tried the Plextor with BTV, do you have any opinions on what the MPEG-2 recording quality is compared to the PVR-250? I'm thinking about the Plextor, but I would like to know if the quality of the tuner and encoder is up to the level of the Hauppauge...
TIA!

I have the PC-M402U, and the mpeg2 recording quality is not even close to the hauppauge PVRs

Is there any reason to think that the PC-TV402U would be any better?
Do you feel it's a tuner issue or the encoder?
Any details on what's worse about it?

Not as crisp, almost a little grainy (sp). Sports/high action tends to get jumpy. I have no way to tell if the TV402 is any different.

Thanks for the reply. I was considering a Plextor unit, but only if the quality was up to the Hauppauge standards.
