Both are based on the Bt 848. I have a Hauppauge Win/TV PCI (UK PAL version), working nicely under FreeBSD 2.2 with the driver from -current.

The driver claims to have support for the Miro cards, but I have no personal knowledge. > The reason I would like to try the Miro board instead of > the Hauppauge board is that it seems the the Hauppauge > board fail to run at anything higher then the normal 33MHz > PCI-clock. 37.5 and 41.5MHz PCI busses is pretty normal > these days.

Since the only component that connects to the PCI bus is the Bt848 itself, it is extremely likely that there will be no difference between the manufacturers in this respect.
