I have enough work to do first (configuring my brand new Snapstream Firefly for LIRC using the ATI driver, etc.)
So far I've used it under Windows (booo) and it seems to work fine. Note however that even under Windows I haven't given it an extensive use.
I was quite disappointed by its remote control which is quite lousy, at least if you get the small black one. I understand there is a much better Silver colored one that is larger and has more buttons. If you want more keys you can also configure other programmable remotes to send the RC5 codes required by the Hauppauge IR receiver. Just try the Philips and Marantz codes. Combine this with the bundled IR remote program, which can use new key codes, and you can use the Hauppauge remote to control other programs.
I also managed to operate the Hauppauge remote under LIRC.
I can't testify anything about picture quality because I see TV through an aerial, and the reception is not so good.
If you look at the MythTV lists you will see this is a very popular card, and I don't see people complaining.
The card has no official Linux support, but the IVTV list is very active, and driver snapshots are released daily.

Are you satisfied with your PVR350?
-- Regards, Noam L. Quoting Udi Finkelstein <linux-il_at_udif.com>:Recently several people have looked for Hauppauge's hardware TV encoding cards:
It seems that www.digitize.co.il have started selling Hauppauge cards in Israel:
WinTV-PVR 350 for 1250 NIS (IR remote + TV-0ut + FM Radio) WinTV-PVR 250 for 925 NIS (IR remote) WinTV-PVR 250 MCE for 850 NIS (FM Radio)
Note: I have no connection with www.digitize.co.il, nor am I their customer. I just ran into their site. I have a WinTV-PVR 350 bought elsewhere.
