well the pvr350's video out only works when using the wintv app to playback and it only works for mpeg files. your best bet is to use the svideo out on the nvidia card/chipset, while overscan is nice for the picture getting rid of the black border and all (works on all nvidia from the gf4 and above) but because the interface for snapstream was designed on a computer monitor without overscan in mind if you enable overscan you will loose part of the interface

also the only competitor to use the pvr-350's out to my knowledge is sage tv and when using it for output the overlay/interface doesnt doesnt come out of the video port just the video itself.

Thanks Bob,

Good information. I guess in hindsight I probably could have made do with the PVR-250 and only needed to change the Shuttle box model for the one with the NVidia video chipset. .

But then I also hope to be able to use a 3rd party software product that will use the 350's radio to record some radio shows.

I've read elsewhere here about the 350 not having the same encoder as the 250. Something about more heat. That's not a big problem for me, but the quality of the mpeg encoding is of great importance. I hope the compatibility is the same as the 250. ie. (S)VCD and DVD properly multiplexed program streams.

Just did a tracking of the shipment of goods, and they should be here tomorrow. Lot's to play with.

Thanks again, Rich
