[mythtv-users] PVR 250/350 vs CPU power

[Lev Pertsov]

Somebody on the list raised an interesting point. With current prices for PVR 250 and even more for 350 wouldn't it be a more cost effective (wise) solution to invest in raw CPU power than in PVR cards? 

You can buy AMD Athlon 2000+ and a motherboard combo for less than $100.

Am I missing something here or the CPU power is a better way to go?
