If they can't play a standard NTSC stream, no way will they do a HD stream, and the pvr350 can't help you. To play a decent HD stream, you need some pretty good hardware. I've been "living" with a P3-1400 and it will barely play with XvMC, but I would't recommend it. I'm about to build a much faster machine, AMD 64X2, but that's overkill.
