But, I didn't use the MPEG-2 decoder because in order to adjust the volume on it, I had to make an external script to adjust the volume on line-in (and I lost the OSD for that). Using Xv on the 350 gives decent results also, but not quite as good as the MPEG decoder. Gees, now you're makihng me think that I want to start using the PVR-350 output again... I keep flip-flopping on that. :) -- Joe __________________________________________ Yahoo! DSL Something to write home about.
