Certain things don't work (and may not be possible) with the PVR-350.  PIP & 
live video previews don't (and probably won't) work, nor do any of the OpenGL 
visualizations for mythmusic.  Playback of non-MPEG1/2 content is too slow 
using the current framebuffer provided by the ivtv driver; I've heard that it 
may be possible with more work on the ivtv side.

If you can live with those limitations, the work on the street is that the 
PVR-350 will give you the best picture you're likely to see out of your 
computer to a TV.
