hi Ricardo,

the PVR-250 (and most likely 350) have s-video in and coaxial cable
in.  i believe you can hook both of them up and then switch between
the inputs.  i'm pretty sure that you can not use both inputs at the
same time.
there are most likely other cards out there that have more than one
input as well, i'm just not familiar with them...
