I use the Hauppauge Win TV PVR USB2 and it is excellent... as long as
it is connected to USB 2 connection there is no difference between it
and a PCI version... unless you are going to output to a television
set to view the 350 in not worth the extra expense... I went with the
USB 2 version because I had no more slots in the computer and I like
the external power...
I have Beyond TV 3 and had a lot of problems with it... I then got
Sage TV... Sage TV has been problem free for me... I wish I would have
gone with Sage TV first...
I tape certain Television series and then burn them to DVD... I have
no need to output to my television so the 350 would be a waste for
me... if you don't need to view on television go with the 250 or the
USB 2...
