[mythtv-users] Multiple Video Card Possible?

[Tony McDowell]

I've been researching MythTV for some time now.   I've just come in to a 
fair amount of money, so I think it's time to finally get off my duff and 
build the MythTV box.

I have already decided that I'm going to use the Hauppauge PVR-350 for the 
video encoding / decoding (nothing fancy, probably just 640x480 for 
personal use on the TV).

However, I'd like to know if it's necessary to have an additional video 
card for output.  I've got plenty of plain-jane video cards with TV-out, 
but if the Hauppauge card is doing my MPEG2 decoding, does the decoder also 
handle the output of the stream to the TV-out port?

Also, what is the X Windows support like for the Hauppauge card?  Since I 
intend on hooking the MythTV box directly to a TV, can the hauppauge card 
drive the TV?

thanks!
