The RG6 connector is a standard coax antenna connection for OTA HDTV and digital broadcasts. The PVR-350 supports standard OTA broadcasts and cable television inputs. The second input on the PVR-350 is for the FM antenna. The ATI HDTV card had two inputs as well. One is for standard OTA and cable inputs and the other is for OTA HDTV and standard def digital broadcasts. The PCHDTV has an S-Video in that can be used with an external cable box, VCR, or other device.
The death of analog TV could render a PVR-350 useless in a few years *but* for now I'd be most happy with that if the primary goal were capturing TV (non HD) without having to be too selective on the rest of the hardware. The issue at hand isn't what hardware I have, it's providing advice for another user to pick what suits them best. --- Michael Miller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Mr O, > > Take a look at the picture of the HD-5500 you can see the RG 6 > connector.
