PVR-500: dual-tuner so you can record 2 programs at the same time. no mpeg2-decoding. driver-support is still in full development PVR-350: single tuner so only 1 program at the time. hardware mpeg2 decoding. haven't seen anything so far that can compare to this quality. proven card, been around for a while, drivers are (pretty) stable > Do they both have the same hardware decoding for the PCs that lack the > resources? The 500 doesn't have hardware decoding so... you'll need a videocard with a pretty descent tv-out.
