nVidia 5200 FX is your best bet.  XvMC doesn't work
correctly with myth, but Xv works pretty well.  I have
a setup exactly as you describe -- RPTV locked to
1080i over VGA -- and 1080i output looks VERY good. 
My 720p shows are sub-optimal but I think that's
because of the scaling done to convert it to 1080i on
the fly.  I have more jaggies and motion artifacts
than I should see.  But it's very smooth in both
cases.  I'm using KnoppMyth R4V5 on an Intel 530 (3
GHZ) and Intel 865PE chipset.
