I have a box with both in it. It has been said that the PVR-500's video
quality isn't quite as high as the 350. IMHO, that's probably true (though
it's not a significant difference); I'm not knowledgeable enough to know
whether it's a real hardware difference or just the IVTV drivers (500 support
is newer in the driver). So if you're really fussy about quality, that might
be a factor.
The 350 has a remote and TV Out built into it, so those may factor into
your decision.
For me, if I didn't need those 2 features and had to choose only one card,
I wouldn't hesitate to go with the 500. Having two tuners is definitely
nice.
