Mike,
You're correct, I'd like something that I can use now, but also in the future run without much modification. I'm trying to set it up so that all my tv's run on frontends that boot off the network, and would like them all similar. 3 X $150 is a bit much...
The card I have was $30 that gave me composite, svideo and DVI with the onboard chipset. It's also nice that it doesn't producve much heat. The quality of the composite isn't much of a concern now, it's just to use the 32" TV instead of the 19" monitor...
Thanx for the suggestion, though!
Mark

I read it to mean he was looking for a video card with DVI output and
good TV out so he could use his standard TV now and not have to buy a
new card (and reconfigure his Myth box) later when he goes to HDTV.
With a VGA to NTSC converter, he could use any card he likes--meaning he
could even wait to buy his Video card with DVI after/when getting the HDTV.
