[mythtv-users] nVidia GF4 mx440 tv-out optimization

[Simon at the Threshold]

I've also got a MX440 and am using it to generate tv-out using a svideo 
cable.

The obvious one when dealing with SVIDEO out is does your TV support 
anything other than the composite input?.  I had the same problem (crap 
quality) until I stuck the svideo connector to the svideo scart port.
