I believe that Michael, like myself who used to use
the PVR-350 TV out, has an HDTV now, which the PVR-350
cannot drive (at least not in anything above SD).

For me, just before I got the HDTV, I stopped using
the PVR-350.  My main reason for using it was to get
rid of the annoying flicker in the OSD when using Bob
deinterlacing.  After I enabled the Chromakey OSD (I
have a 5200FX), I never went back to the PVR-350
because of the many advantages of it (the 5200FX).
