Now I get it ;)  So it is a graphics card with TV out connected to the TV, I
guess the TV outs on the TV cards are all daisy chained into the Graphics
card (with TV in/out).  I did not realise I would need a graphics card with
TV out as well as the freeview cards. I thought the TV out on the freeview
card was used to connect to the TV.  What TV out graphics card do you
recommend?
