[mythtv-users] OT: Good and cheap TV-out

[the bcpino]

hello all!

My MythTV system consists in three machines: a backend and two frontends.

The backend is only used as backend.

I'd like to use the backend as a backend/frontend and connect it to my TV
through Svideo.

The backend configuration is the following:
- Intel Celeron D 2.53 Ghz
- 512 MB RAM
- 160 GB IDE HDD drive
- Integrated Intel video card (don't remember if it is a 915 or a 950).
- 2 x Hauppauge PVR-150
(I only use it to store SD contend, and my FLAC/OGG/MP3 library)
- MythTV 0.19

It has enough power to serve the 2 frontends (LiveTV and stored files) and
record a show very smoothly, no complains at all.... just SD, no HD where I
live.

I think I'd only need an aditional video card with tv-out. My problem is
that I don't have a AGP slot, just PCI-Express and standard PCI slots.


- What do you advise me?
I have heard the Geforce 5200's are very good for it, the problem is that
they only come in AGP 8X or old PCI interface without DVI (future-proofing).

-What card do you advise me now?
I need a cheap PCI-Express Geforce card, just for MythTV (no 3D gaming),
with DVI.

I also have problems because there are plenty brands, some of them with
problems, like the Mad Dog or Asus Geforce 5200.

Thanks for you help
