For RobertH,

I noticed you mentioned the PVR-350 TV-out only works with the supplied player ?? I have a PVR-250 and made the mistake of putting it in an early model shuttle box (the Athlon 266 FSB thing with the SIS video on board)

I found that the SnapStream would not work with full screen or windowed (you may remember an earlier post from me about it) output with that video chip set. Most likely because it doesn't properly support 3d acceleration.

So I ordered up the later SN41G2 (with the Nvidia built in video) While at it, I got the PVR-350.

I was hoping to use the TV-out of the PVR-350 not for streaming but for playback into a modultor that is feeding a whole house A/V distribution panel. (Channel 84 will be my SnapStream / PVR channel)

I guess I have two ways to go .. either use the TV out of the Nvidia chip set on the mobo or the TV out of the PVR-350. I have heard of problems with over-scan and getting proper TV display with some of the older Nvidia cards. This mobo based chip set is of course pretty new. Which do you think would be the best set up for me? I'm hoping to access the SnapStream full screen output on channel 84 and be able to navigate and choose to playback previously recorded mpegs.

So far, with a small Duron 1K and the PVR 250 I've been very pleased, (albeit I can't use the windowed or full screen mode of the SnapStream) I'm hoping the PVR 350 or the new Shuttle Nvidia box's video chipset will help there.

Yes, I know I could just try both myself. But I haven't gotten all the parts yet and thought you may be able to give me some insight so I would know what to expect. Thanks ..
