I got TV Out on PVR350 Working

Its funny, I've never had a problem with the 350, other than working out which input to use. I tend to use the MVPs more (1 each tv vs 1 central output), but find that the 350 is far more robust and stable. Weird.

Yes, it worked well for me also. I was pretty confused when some users started reporting lockup problems etc.

Odd, i am using PVR350, works well, i dont use LIVE tv, i record. Supermicro Board P4. Not checked drivers though.

The "big" bug only happens to me in live tv, so that wouldn't be much of a problem for me. But there were quite a few other bugs too that were just too annoying for me. For example, I could never get the sound and image to be in sync. They were almost, but never exactly, in sync. Second, for about 10% of all recordings, the pvr-350 thinks the recording is only 12 seconds long, which yields that you can never skip or forward in the recording :-(

I only have problems in Live TV and DVD playback from hard disk. Live TV actually works, and it's beautiful quality, way better than software decoding, but as soon as I try to do something (pause, rewind) It locks up completely. and I have to exit to the OS and restart the service. To those of you who got it to work, you're lucky. And I have to say, more than anything I am dissapointed in Hauppauge for not taking ownership of this bug and fixing it. Their defense is "well it works in WinTV". Too bad WinTV sucks, otherwise I would use it.

I love my PVR350. Rock solid after a few problems in the old days but it's perfect right now.

Just found this thread; built a system from scratch a couple weekend ago, the 350 is super here. I love the video quality and I've had no issues of any sort, other than figuring out details of pluging and reading docs

WinXP Pro/ Asus K8N-E with 1.8GHz AMD socket 754/ NVIDIA chipset . Latest Hauppauge drivers from their support site as of 2 weeks ago, but not the ones that are in beta.

I chose my mainboard as the mythTV.org site recommended to stay away from VIA chipsets, and I kinda knew going in that I would need to think about video overlay on an AGP card so I have the MX-440 AGP card; but none of this setup is high end by any means. I don't do el cheapo mainboards, though, learned that lesson a while ago. A buddy built a PVR at this same time, MSI board, it's doing OK.

Anyway sorry to hear people are having/ had trouble but do keep an eye on the Hauppauge support site if you haven't been there lately; and I've had great response from the support people, had some questions about small details, and they sent me a spare cable dongle thing N/C when I simply mentioned I was wondering about quality of the composite video out from the card.

Rock solid here!
