[mythtv-users] Why use PVR 350 TV-out? (Was: X and PVR 350)

[Eggert Thorlacius]

Hello

I have been following the thread "X and PVR 350" and other similar 
threads where people have been having problems with running MythTV on 
the PVR 350 TV-out, and I can certainly relate to their frustration 
because I went through all the same problems when I was trying to set 
up my machine.
I finally gave up and instead used the TV-out of my nVidia card and I 
couldn't be happier.  Before, I could not play DivX files or transcoded 
recordings because my machine was too slow, but now I play them (at 
about 50% CPU).  Plus, the UI is noticably snappier, I don't have to 
use that funky audio out-> audio in -> oudio out loop and the image 
quality is IMHO better.

So my question is, why should people setting up their Myth boxes even 
try to use the PVR 350?  Why not just buy a PVR 250 and a e-GeForce 
MX4000 for the same price?

Note that this is not meant as a flame, I'm just curious.
