I plan to get one of these as soon as I can. I have an older model 880
WinTC/PVR, but it doesn't seem to work well reliably anywhere. :(

The 350 has MPEG encoding as well as decoding. The 250 just has encoding

I want to go with a HiPix 200 when I get an HD card, but there are no Linux

asking for Linux support, at least in information about card internals, maybe
driver examples, etc.
