In my case it comes down to a lack of free card slots. I can't fit 
another graphics card, along with everything else I already have in 
the case. My motherboard has built-in ATI graphics (9100-IGXP), but 
I've had lots of problems getting that to work acceptably with Myth, 
mostly due to ATI's lousy driver.

In my case, I don't watch DVDs or play games on my Myth box, so I 
don't really mind most the drawbacks. The inability to control 
overscan on the 350 is only a minor annoyance.
