I have to agree with you there.  I tried the PVR-350s tv-out first, but 
couldn't get it to work well, so I bought an MX400.  TV-out was okay for 
most things, but sporting events were a little blurry and looked like 
they were recorded in 1980.  Then I went back to the PVR-350 again, 
whose drivers had matured quite a bit since the first try, and the 
TV-out is perfect.  It actually looks better than my TV hooked directly 
to my cable box.
