The PVR-350 has a hardware decoder and I believe a radio tuner. The PVR-250 rev1 also had a hardware decoder, while the rev2 (which I have) doesn't have the hardware decoder. My 250 does have a IR remote, but it seems to be upto the version/vendor you get the card from. | | It lists a sound card in the requrements but the features show audio | capture. Does it have its own audio capture or do you have to use the | sound card. You only need the sound card to play back the audio through. It does it's own internal audio capturing via an msp34xx chip. The nice thing is you get the mpeg2 with audio/video already put together. The latest versions of the driver does a really good job at keeping them synced up. The longest I've recorded has been a 2 hour show and I didn't see any sync issues after burning to dvd and playing on my hardware DVD player. | | I think I'd really like to find a device that capures audio as well that | way I don't have to mess with all this audio drift stuff. | | I actually got my AIW Radeon 7500 to capture under Windows2000.
