Has anyone done any comparison of the above TV out quality ?
I'm currently using nvidia, but compared to my dxr3 card the quality 
sucks...
(dxr3 is well supported by mplayer, so for watching movies I simply start
mplayer from the command line, but it would be nice if mythtv would 
support it as well)

I also have the G400-tv, but in the mythtv supported mode (xawtv can 
apparently
use a better one, but haven't tried it at all myself) its about the same 
as the nvidia,
but a lot slower (since it seems to lack glx support).

I know using the dxr3 has been discussed (and rejected) before, but
that was more from a 'not so elegant' solution perspective, not from a
'I really want good quality picture!' perspective...

So, the question is what should be used for a picture quality similar to 
what the
Tivo has ? And how good does the pvr350 look like ? And what about the 
standalone
monitor->tv converters ? Anything else I've forgotten ?
