I have just the mythfrontend running on older computer.
"...mythfrontend version: branches/release-0-23-fixes [24158]..."

It receives only SD channles from the backend on another box.
There are no HD channels to deal with.

This mythfrontend has a small VGA screen but it works just fine.

This mythfrontend also has a Bt878 Video Capture card which uses the
bttv driver.
This Bt878 card is not being used currently but it does have a yellow
Video RCA output.

Is it possible to send the mythfrontend video out to a traditional SD
TV via this Bt878 card?
The SD TV has a 32 inch screen.

The lspci output for this card is listed below.
