I tried using a scan converter initially, and wasn't happy with the output,
so I got a GeForce4 MX.  I still wasn't happy with the TVout, until I
figured out it was partially due to the tuner card contrast/brightness
settings (the default was too washed out).  I tweaked those, and have been
reasonable happy with the results.  I can't help wondering if that was the
problem with the scan converter too... would've saved me getting a new video
card (though I'm glad I did, since I'd be short a PCI slot... my old video
card was PCI, new one is AGP).
