Folks,

I'm considering getting a PVR-350 instead of slogging away with trying to get native TV out... However before I splash the cash I have some questions:


1) How stable is the PVR-350 under Myth? I know on Windows GB-PVR it's been all but abandoned due to instability, restart problems etc etc. What's the situation with Linux? 


I have one of these, initially I had problems with TV out, but after I got it working it has been ok, sounds has been an issue, but I believe it's more of a configuration problem.



2) The one thing lacking from the PVR-350 in my book is an RGB output...however looking at the specs for the TV chip (the SAA7127?) on board, it can produce the RGB signals. So it MAY be that I can do some fine brain surgery to add the 3 necessary wires. Has anyone tried this? Would anyone be prepared to take some high resolution piccies of both sides of the board so I can see how feasible it might be? 


No, haven't got to that point yet.

3) How well does it work for non-MPEG2 output? Is the frame buffer up to the task of showing DVDs/DIVx etc?


pretty good, no problems there


Cheers

Steve
