Ah, yeah.  The plan to drop PVR-350 decoder support has been on the 
books for a couple of years, now.  Daniel just waited until another 
official release occurred so that users didn't see any "unexpected" loss 
of functionality.  This means that PVR-350 decoder users have a whole 
release cycle to get "real" equipment.  ;)
