The Bt848 based stuff is much newer and the Meteor can be hard to get a hold of in some places. If you already have a video card, there's no sense replacing it. The Bt848 runs alongside your existing card, overlaying video through it's framebuffer. They're also cheap, checking in at less than $150, and that's the tuner models. (someone correct me if the meteor is also an overlay card like the Bt. I've not worked with the Metors yet.)
