First thing I would like to say is thank you to Hauppauge for providing the WinTv PVR 350 for me to Review.

When you first take the WinTv PVR 350 out of the anti static wrapping you notice the jacks on the back where things can be plugged in. On this card you have the following inputs and outputs.

If this is what your getting and your machine is NOT infected with virus/trojans/spyware then a program like Memtest86+ is the program you want to take a look at it. What this program does is it will go through all of your system memory and test it with various methods. This program will stress your machine but in doing so it will show any issues you may have.

Little over a year ago i was browsing a web site and come across this article about large companies trying to patent everything under the sun in terms of software. At the time i didn’t give it much thought until i realized what this could mean for open source software.
