Could you quantify it a little? ;) Is picture quality
with other cards/on-board video (like the Geforce 440
MX) more blurry, etc.?

I'm still trying to figure out the differences between
backends and frontends. The pvr-350 would go in a
frontend, and therefore none of its capturing
capabilities would be used (since the backend does
that)?

Thanks,
John
