FWIW - I've had my PVR-350 for a few weeks now, and from what I can
tell so far I wish I'd saved a few bucks and went with the PVR-250.

I'm using the TV out on my Shuttle XPC SS40G, and it works like a
charm. From reading this list for a while it also seems like it should
be less problematic than trying to force the TV-Out on the PVR-350 to
work.
