You can also hack mythtv to check the horizontal scan line count
register (0x3c48) directly from the video output code, and get it to
busy-wait until the start of frame. This can be made to work ok, but is
never going to make it
I orignally got a pvr-350. Now I realize I should have saved myself a
few bucks and gone with the pvr-250.
People use thier myth boxes in different ways. But I always felt the
great thing about myth is you can do much more than watch TV. Myth
does games, play video files, DVD, video

Any off-the-self DVR can do that.
I didn't mean to say that all DVRs can play games and videos.
I meant to say any DVR can watch record and play TV. Myth can do so

I really should prove read before I post ;)

No matter what else you can do with your PVR, if TV doesn't look like
TV, it's no good to me. Again - Just my opinion. And yes, we don't all
use them for the same things...

The PVR-350 has dual tuners, but one of them is for
TV, and the other is for radio (I don't know if it's
FM only, or AM also).

Someone told me, or I read somewhere, that with the 350 has dual tuners.
Somone told you wrong. I believe there is a new card that has dual
tuners, but the 350 is not such a beast.
I personally use the pvr-350, and it does have pretty good output (on
a crappy tv, so hard to get a good read on

But also, the price difference is $30 Canadian for me to get either
card. The 250 is $199 at BestBuy and the 350 is $230 for me from my
computer hardware
Does the FX5200 cards have mpeg2 hardware decoders?
nVidia's site isn't clear on this. I think that some
of them might, but I think it's only on the mobile
versions. Anybody got any info on this?

Well, with Xv and a nvidia card and singlehead, there shouldn't be any tearing
whatsoever on video playback, unless you disable that through the
nvidia-settings app. That's built in to the driver.
Tearing, though is separate from the vsync support code in myth, which uses
