Jason,
TV Out quality sucks. Get a breakout box that converts VGA -> component
video and you will have much better picture.

Does anyone have MythTV setup with a big screen TV? Is the GeForce2 MX
<br>
400 robust enough to handle the output? Would a GeForce4 Ti4200 improve
<br>
MythTV's performance?<br><br>
