No. At least not for purposes of viewing full-motion video. That is, I have
not, and to the best of my knowledge, no one else has either.

I got a 550 to work with TV out, sort of, by following meticulously the
instructions at the standard Website. But this card's TV out does not
support XVideo (that's the "sort of" piece), making it effectively useless
for watching TV.
For the details on this (including what I mean by "the standard Website"),
please refer to the subsection of the Myth HowTo that discusses TV out (it
is part of section 3.1 but is not separately lised in the ToC ... Robert,
perhaps the ToC needs expanding with more subsections here?).

Then buy a different card. The HowTo lists many that are known to work. I
like nVidia card myself.
