Acording to http://www.asus.com/prog/spec.asp?m=Pundit&langs=01 and
http://store.yahoo.com/pctekonline/aspunp4slimb.html the Pundit uses for
video the SiS 315, however the linuxtested site reports the "display
adapter" as SiS 651 - a typo, maybe?

You can find more info about support for SiS video chipsets on Linux at 
http://www.winischhofer.net/linuxsis630.shtml

Acording to that page, "Xv is supported on all chipsets", and reading
further (XvOnCRT2  -
http://www.winischhofer.net/linuxsis630.shtml#xvoncrt2) you'll find that
Xv is also supported on the tv-out when using both vga and tv-out.

I hope your questions were answered.

Good luck and have fun with MythTV!

P.S. Anyone knows where to buy a Pundit in Europe? PCTek sells them on
the US (http://store.yahoo.com/pctekonline/aspunp4slimb.html), however
they told me that shipping to Europe would cost around 80US$, which
makes it too expensive to import.
