Highly agree with using a "real" video card instead of PVR-350 TV out.
Very nice for non-video (i.e. OpenGL). Also, not limited to SDTV.

IMHO, the rumors of PVR-350 output quality are highly exaggerated... I
would guess that most people who swear there's a huge difference have
never properly configured their video card's TV out and Myth's use of it
(i.e. got it just far enough to get output). I have a PVR-350, but yet
I'm using a Chaintech GF4 MX440 for TV out (yeah, not quite what I need
for HDTV, but that will change in the near future...).

Love the TV out on mine. Also, quite inexpensive. If you have
aspirations of an HDTV upgrade, you might want to go with a GF 5200 (or
better).
