[mythtv-users] Best card for HDTV?

Hi all.

I've been lurking for about a year, and am close to jumping in.  I'm thinking 
of a Pundit with a Hauppauge PVR to do the encoding.

My choice is between the 250 and onboard video or the 350 card to use it's 
highly thought of tv out.  My television is a sony hdtv that can accept all 
the various progressive standards.

My understanding is that the 350 tvout is mostly advantageous for connecting 
to televisions that only take interlaced inputs.  Am I correct in thinking 
that my tv (since it can accept progressive inputs) won't benefit from the 
350 special capability?  And also that the Pundit onboard video will produce 
good video quality from the motherboard svideo out?

If not, I'd like to stay away from the 350 as it seems to be a very unstable 
choice.

For this project to be successful, I must achieve a very high WAF!

Thanks,
mike.
