[mythtv-users] does the PVR-350 have issues?

[Tim - DZ]

The only real different is that the 350 has an output.  This means the card
is doing decoding in the hardware (and your CPU isn't).  Generally speaking
this should yield a smooth picture and a low CPU usage computer.

The biggest problems I've seen are that the FM Tuner you're paying for with
the 350 is not supported under linux at all, and getting X (and therefore
mythfrontend) to display on the 350 output, for example I've got all the
menus working fine on the monitor and TV / Playback working on the 350 TV
output, but can't get the menus to work on the 350 output.

Myself, I'd go with one of both. You don't _have_ to use the TV-out on the
350 
right away if you decide it's not working well enough for you yet.

I got my dual 250's before the 350 TV-out was supported. I'm close to
getting 
a 350 anyway, which will give me 3 tuners. No hurry though. :)
