Can I buy just a pvr250 & a firefly from snapstream?

I already own BTV and 1 pvr250, and I was wondering if I could pick up just a pvr250btv and firefly as a bundle (maybe 130 or so?) without buying another copy of btv?

Anyone have any thoughts or inside info on this?

I like the idea, but what i think would be be even better is if they offer client version of 3.5 after it released with a fire fly remote and a pvr250 card.

Since that be the first version that supports more then one card. Maybe as a limited time offer?

Buy the kit, all 3 parts and sell me ur BTV key that you get new and continue with your current BTV since its allready installed. I need a BTV key. My trial goes out in 2 days! PM me or better yet, email me an offer for the key.

Re: Can I buy just a pvr250 & a firefly from snapstream?

I was able to get the PVR250btv after getting snapstream, I thought they were doing me a favor, not quite.

The PVR250btv does not work properly, at least with my system. I spent weeks with technical support trying to get it straightened out, they finally determined that the drivers they made for this card do not work correctly. I am now along with many others battling with Snapstream to get our refunds on these cards.

The regular PVR250 still works perfectly, just the btv version which requires separate drivers does not work right. I hope they get their act together, but with all the BS I'm going through to get a refund, I am not optimistic.

Edgar, have you tried the new drivers that fix the 15/16 bug? I don't know if that's the problem in this case (don't own a PVR250) but that might fix the problem and save you having to fight for a refund.

Now that's the American Way! Good thinking HideOut and way to help a fellow BTV-er out...

But he never let me know if he was buying. My btv box has been down now almost 2 weeks...

Not sure if I wanna spend full retail for it cause a replay box is only $110 and i could sell the rest of the hardware and have hundreds left over...
