Not sure if that's a recent 'break', but the pvr350
*can* ff/rw (like a vcr), but good support for that
hasn't been written into mythtv yet.
Mine does a 3x ff, and that's about it, but it IS
still ff'ding
And for the record, i think that the pvr cards are

VCRs can fast forward and rewind. The PVR-350 can't, it's not supported.
Are you talking about the speed adjust? It can certainly skip forward and

The only thing I'm aware that it can't do is the "speed up/slow down" -- I
