I for one get great TV-OUT from my PVR-350. For me the great thing about this card it is in one PCI slot I get all the functionality I need. The only downside I've seen with the PVR-350 is the non-TV display stuff. I am still using old IVTV drivers (waiting on an official IVTV release), but do believe that this too will only be a matter of time before it's fixed. Scott
