[mythtv-users] How to output to Standard TV

Folks,

I am in the process of spec'ing my first HTPC.  It will be Xubuntu with 
MythTV.  I will use it as a DVR and rip my DVDs and CDs to it.  It will 
have a couple of tuners in it so that we can combine FreeView and 
FreeSat (I am UK based).
So far the hardware looks like this:

Motherboard: GA-MA785GM-US2H
Processer:   Athlon II X2 240e
Tuner 1:   WinTV NOVA TD-500
Tuner 2:   WinTV NOVA HD-S2
No graphics card

Initially I will not be 'doing' HD; no Blu-Ray and no HD TV (this will 
change but not for 6 months or so). 

My concern is how to connect the HTPC to my Standard TV (Panasonic 
TX-28PL10).

The Gigabyte motherboard has D-SUB, DVI-D and HDMI.
The TV has SCART, S-Video and RCA (composite video - yellow, plus sterio 
audio red/white).  The RCA is currently used for the Wii.

How can I get the HTPC connected to the TV? 

Regards,

Gav
