	I plan to get one of these as soon as I can.  I have an older model 880 
WinTC/PVR, but it doesn't seem to work well reliably anywhere. :(

	The 350 has MPEG encoding as well as decoding.  The 250 just has encoding 
capability.

	I want to go with a HiPix 200 when I get an HD card, but there are no Linux 
drvers supported by Telemman at present.  We should all send them e-mail 
asking for Linux support, at least in information about card internals, maybe 
driver examples, etc.
