Additionally, after a TV show has been recorded and is on my hard drive, do I have to go back to the computer to recall this recorded show?
Or can one just do this from your easy chair, using Snapstream on my TV and call-up a previously recorded program?
If playback to my TV is from the PVR250, why would it matter how good the PC video card is if it already does a fine job with the existing PC monitor.
I appreciate the time for an explanation or a pointer to somewhere that explains this very well.

The PVR-250 does not have TV-OUT - only in. The 350 does have TV-OUT, but Snapstream does not currently support the TV-OUT features of the 350.
With either, you need a separate video card (such as an ATI AIW or TV-Wonder, or a GForce card with TV-OUT) for Snapstream to output to your TV.
Once you've got your TV-OUT working, you can call up a recorded program from within Snapstream to watch it (no need to go outside of the Snapstream interface to 'find' it on your hard drive).
Playback on your TV is not from the PVR-250, it will always play through your video card that has TV-OUT.
Many people here will recommend the Gforce TV-OUT cards. I can also recommend an ATI All-In-Wonder (or TV-Wonder) for TV-OUT.
