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

[Dex West]

I guess I don't quite understand, I've got a standard
SVideo cable connecting my TV RCA 36" to my MX440 tv
out connector.

What brand of video card do you have?  Is there a
difference in quality between Live Tv out of MythTv
and just viewing X?  I have not received my 350 yet so
I have not tried to configure Myth yet.

Thanks for the response..
