If you want to use things like mame, and downloaded video, I would suggest<br>
*against* the PVR-350. Support for X on the 350 is lacking at best. It looks<br>
beautiful when viewing TV and TV recordings, but the X output is using framebuffer,<br>
so even with XV working, it's slow and difficult to make happy. You'll be best off with<br>
svideo out on an nForce motherboard, or an nvidia based agp card. So for recording TV,<br>
get a hauppauge 150 or 500 (spring for the 500 if you think you'll ever want two inputs,<br>
especially since you're limited on cardslots). The 250 is a possibility as well, but it's<br>
effectively the same as the 150, but costs more.<br>
