There is a non-trivial amount of "magic" required to get teh 350's TV 
Out working, but it's not terribly difficult if you follow instructions. 
There's an excellent set on this very forum; just do a search for the 
partial subject "very long" and you'll find it. The 250, BTW not only 
does not have the output, it also does not have the onboard decoder that 
drives the output. OTOH, the 250 Freestyle cards you find on eBay 
(Gateway pulls) are actually closer to the 350, in that they actually 
have the decoder on the board, but have no TV Out port or IR remote 
plug. I seem to remember seeing someone posting about trying to use the 
Freestyle's decoder much like a DVD decoder board, as a branch of IVTV 
driver development IIRC, but that's a while down the road for sure.
