Check out the MythTV compatibility lists. That's always a good starting point when building a dedicated MythTV box.

If your are still deciding between the 250 & 350. I'd go with the former. I understand that getting the S-video out working good on the 350 can be a challenge. So I'd save some money and go with the 250 which is also the most commonly used for MythTV.
