One more option that might work for you is to use the PVR-350 as a 
PVR-250.  That's what I'm currently doing (not for stability, but for 
OpenGL/X Video support).  If you can plug in a video card with good 
video out (i.e. GF4MX440 or something) and use it instead of the 
PVR-350's TV out, you'll probably have a pretty stable system.

I got my Via to the point where I could record anything I wanted--and it 
was stable recording--I just couldn't watch anything.  The Via board I 
have doesn't have an AGP slot, and I didn't want to waste money on a PCI 
video card, so I never got to try it with the other video card until I 
switched motherboards.
