So, based on this input. I guess 250 would be the way to go since TVout
doesn't work for the PVR and it can't play avi/dvd etc (yet)

Yep.. No games.. Just watch Recorded TV/DVDs/avi etc. 

I tot DVD/AVI playback isn't supported for any of the PVR cards?

GeForceMX4 440 and Above right? Cool.. I already have a GeForce MX 4 440
at home.


Thanks and if you could clarify on the DVD/AVI/RMVB/OOG etc playback for
the PVR's TV-Out it would be great.
