[mythtv-users] PVR-250 vs. PVR350

[Boyd II, Willy]

Depends on what you do with the box.  If you're watching a lot of non-mpeg
video in mythvideo and like the mythmusic visualizations for example, you'll
probably want to stick with the geforce.  If you only use the box as a tv
pvr, definitely look into switching as supposedly the tv-out (of mpeg video)
is wonderful.
