Jeff,

Thanks for the heads up on the cheap PVR 250 card.  I ordered mine last
Wednesday, and I just received it today.  I plugged it in, and it works
flawlessly.  (I now have a 350 and a 250).  I was a little worried that I'd
run into problems adding a second card, but I plugged it in and It Just
Worked...
