[mythtv-users] Epia Board and PVR350 or PVR500

[Joachim Schwarzhorn]

Thank You very much Stephen,

Your answer helps a lot. I think I will go with the PVR500 (two tuners,
no heat problem).
I probably also will  use the S-video with an 100Hz 32" widescreen. I
suppose I will use my old DVD Player for DVD playback and the epia for
TV recording and playback.
