Only slightly on topic, but is there any good reason apart from saving space in your in case, to get a PVR-350? <br>
<br>
I recently upgraded my frontend to make it HD capable, and I am
thinking about using the old parts to build a remote FE/SBE. I
thought about getting a PVR-350 t oget anouther tuner + tv out on a
single card, but then I realized a cheap FX5200 w/ S-Video out and a
PVR-150 cost about $60 less than a PVR-350. ($36+68 vs. $169). <br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 2/1/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">Steve Frank</b> <<a href="mailto:steve.frank@bevcore.com">steve.frank@bevcore.com

<br>cash. I have a 350 slaved to cable box and a 250 running on analog<br>cable, works great.<br><br>Steve<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>mythtv-users mailing list<br><a href="mailto:mythtv-users@mythtv.org">
