Anyways I do not have a 350. I have a 250 in a dual processor 32 bit athlon mp gentoo box and a 500 in a dual processor opteron box. In the home office is a three way splitter between the two tuners and my cable modem. This line is fed from about 20 feet of 2300 Mhz cabling (i beleive rg6) to the main splitter which is a 4 way cable amplifier (PDI with +7db gain per port) that is designed to support cable modems. The first tuner of the pvr 500 works about as good as the pvr250 but the second is pretty bad reminds me of the time when we all had rabbit ears on our tvs...
