I'm starting to see the value of getting both a better processor and a
tv card that can do encoding in hardware, now.  :)

There's a $30 coupon right now from Outpost/Fry's...

Is there any reason to spend the extra $90 or so and get the PVR-350?

Will MythTV work with digital cable systems?

I appreciate all the feedback.
