Hi,

The MX440 seems a popular choice, and pretty reasonable on ebay (I paid
something like 15 GBP / 27 USD).

I'm interested though how it compares with the PVR-350, what's the opionion
on a PVR-250 and MX 440 vs the PVR-350 quality wise... I'm sure people have
been discussing like issues but I wanted to ask this specifically as I'm
wondering whether to but a 250 or 350? My standard bttv card isn't up to the
job at the mo!

Thanks in advance
