[mythtv-users] dilemma PVR-350-out/nvdia out

[MacNean Tyrrell]

It kind of depends on the way your outputting to your TV.  My dad's mythtv
box that i just set up uses HDMI and man it looks great.  I personally use
RGB (VGA) on mine, which looks great too.  On my bedroom one i use s-video
which is not great but not bad.  I mean i got rid of my pvr-350 awhile ago
because whenever i played a game or a mpeg4 file, it was just terrible.  I'd
rather live with s-video than the pvr-350's out personally.  To each their
own.
