[mythtv-users] Excellent quality TVOUT from almost any video card

[papenfuss at juneau.me.vt.edu]

	Hrm... I didn't see this when I was looking into this problem.  I'm a
bit suspicious of this, only because I find it hard to believe one can sell a
scan converter for this little.  I suspect inside it's probably a chip
comparable to the AD724 converter, but they only grab every other line.  This
would remove the flicker problem (not mentioned at all), but only give you 240
lines... so at best your resolution would be 1024x240.  If it'd work with an
NTSC standard mode (interlaced at 30 Hz), that'd be great, but from reading it
looks like it only works at 60 Hz.

	Feel free to correct me... it'd be really great to get this for a price 
like that.
