hello all, I am a new mythtv user, switching over from freevo. I really
like freevo, and it has served my needs up until now, but now my needs
are changing. the main reason for switching is i have a pvr-350 card on
the way and mythtv seemes to support it very well :)
my question is related to what kinda video card i will need to have the
350's mpeg decoder work properly. basically, i got fed up with not
being able to get the tv-out working properly on the voodoo3 3500 that
was in the box, so i bought a cheap s3 card that had tv-out knowing that
i could get it working (read REALLY cheap). its cheap enough and old
enough that i am concerned it may be lacking features used to transfer
and display the video from the 350 card. it is agp, if that helps. I
forget exactly what model the card is, but X loads the driver for the S3
Savage chipset.
thanks!
