While we're talking, for my myth box I bought a Hauppage PVR-350 since it also had a MPEG2 hardware decoder as well. Well the MPEG2 files looked beautiful, but you could only watch MPEG2. No divx/xvid or any other codec. The Linux and Windows drivers are shotty at best, and myth support is becoming less and less.
So don't buy the PVR350... get a card with decent TV Out. ray On Tue, 20 Nov 2007, c.a. weisheit wrote: > I was using a card I already had around the house.
