After a bit more research I have discovered that the Hauppage PVR-500 card does not have a hardware decoder.  This, plus the massive amount of information on how to get the 350 working, has decided me on the 350.  I am considering getting both the 350 and the DVB-T card which will allow me to records one channel from the sky box and one channel from freeview.  I'll let you all know how it goes.
