<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I just received my two PVR-250's from the guy
selling them for $88 on Ebay, they look like the right revision so hopefully
everything will go smoothly. I am just looking for any suggestions, tips,
advice, etc.... before I get started. The following is the system specs, I think
getting the video out to work is going to be the biggest challenge.</FONT></DIV>
