Ah, I see. I misunderstood what you were saying. I see a problem with two
cards only though. If I happen to be recording via the pvr350, I will not
be able to view via a card with a decoder at the same time. This is why I
wanted to view with a decoder only card (that does not record), to keep
from tying up a capture by viewing.
I guess this leads me to another question. Does the viewing only card need
to be "supported" by mythtv if it is not being used to capture? I assume
when viewing I am viewing a buffer from the capture, so can I use a card
with a decoder that is supported by X? If not, then you are probably
correct, a pvr-250 and pvr-350 would be the way to go.
