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
really only useful when you have an old box lying
around and you want to make it a pvr. If you have even
a moderately fast box, why not buy a $30 capture card
and let it decode/encode in software?

The 350 is a special case IMHO because of the
excellent video output quality, but you're still
locked in to mpeg-2.
