As an aside, what is the preferred Nvidia card for TV output? I have a 
generic GeForce 4 MX440 and it works alright, although I'm sure it could 
be better. If there is a better card to use, what is it?

Also, awhile back I bought one of these: 
http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=169832&Sku=G126-1002

And I tried it with Myth, but it wouldn't work. I forget the problem, I 
believe it was something about 'couldn't connect to xv device' or 
something like that.

Would I be better served using that box with the VGA output, or a better 
Nvidia card?

Thanks
