The 350 has the FM tuner which is kind of nice. The output is not exactly TV out but MPEG2 out only. Snapstream does not support that either. But you can try that with the WinTV app.
It's amazing the amount of qualified information (from hands on) here in a forum as opposed to the manufacturer's own technical staff. I have three emails to Hauppauge going back over the last three weeks and have not heard from then yet.

I shudda come here first. <grin>

I find most manufacturers gear their available information to the public with the slant towards the lowest common denominator. When you have valid, more advanced queries based on technical issues you usally find very little detailed information. Fine for the "plug and pray" crowd, but for the techno-geeks very lacking.

Not complaining .. just an observation.
