Mr O, Take a look at the picture of the HD-5500 you can see the RG 6 connector. Like the PVR-350 it supports unencrypted QAM 64 and QAM 256 Cable signals. Take a look at the FAQ the HD-3000 and HD-5500 use NVIDIA IDCT acceleration for machines under 2000MHz. If you have a NVIDIA card that supports IDCT acceleration. You don't have to worry about your 3Ghz CPU being over taxed. The HD-5500 supports HD signals as well as Analog NTSC signals as well. The PVR-350 may be obsolete in 5 years if the FCC decides to take away the Analog TV radio spectrum ahead of there set schedule.

The HD-5500 doesn't mention supporting cable input. And, as you already mentioned, all encoding/decoding is software which taxes your CPU. At least with the PVR-350 you can watch prerecorded show while recording something else and get by on a much slower processor. --- Michael Miller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > If you going to spend $128 you might as well pay an extra > dollar for a > HD-5500 ( http://www.pchdtv.com/ ). > > The HD-5500 is a fully Linux supported video capture card that > does > software encoding/decoding.
