Would work just fine with a 350 for recording, watching live tv and even
recording and watching another recording. The only issue that you may
have is if you want to watch DVDs. The problem with DVDs is that the PII
350 is not fast enough to decode them and there will be sync issues if
you try to decode the video with the PVR and output the sound to the
soundcard.
