[mythtv-users] PVR 350 vs PVR 250?

[John Harvey]

I'm working on the driver at the moment and it should improve the
performance when only parts of the screen are being updated which may well
help with games. There is still a bug in it at the moment but I should have
something that can be tested in the next day or so. I'll announce it in the
ivtv-dev list so keep an eye out there if you want to give it a try.

I'm with you.. i've posted on this list many times if you use the X 
driver the PVR350 can playback any type of video format. I watch 
divx/xvid/mpeg2/etc all the time thru my pvr350's tvout and it looks 
incredible..

now what i *do* have problems with is ROMS, it's not fast enough to keep 
up with any games NES/SNES/MAME but i can live with that.
