<pre wrap="">Scott,
The Chaintech GeForce4 MX card just came in the mail today. I finally got
everything installed and tweaked just right, and I wanted to share my
results. Let me just sum up by saying that this is freakin' awesome!! I
have spent the last hour doing everything I could possibly imagine to try
and crash the backend, hang my system, or stop a current recording. I just
can't do it anymore. The program guide while watching live TV works like a
champ. I turned on the video preview option, and I entered and exited the
"watch recordings" menu probably 4 dozen times. I watched varoious recorded
shows, paused, fast-forwarded, rewinded, etc... I did this over and over
and over and over again, but never once was I able to stop a current
recording or hang my system. I'm ecstatic!! Also, the time it takes to
change channels has gone from 4 seconds to about 1 second. Not bad!
I'm still using the 350 as my capture card. The on-screen displays actually
look better with the GF4MX tv-out than with the 350. Live (or recorded) TV
doesn't look quite as sharp, but the difference is only really noticable
when there is a lot of on-screen movement. I increased the capture bitrate
and that seemed to help. Other than that, I haven't done any real
tweaking...
As they say, YMMV, but I'd definitely recommend buying another tv-out
graphics card, and hang on to the 350 as your capture device. As far as the
WAF goes, I think this will be the best investment I've made...

<pre wrap="">I have a PVR-350, but due to some issues (detailed previously) as well
as things like mplayer and mame not running on the pvr, I'm considering
purchasing a reasonably cheap TV-out card until things get ironed out. I
need to keep the WAF up to preserve domestic tranquility, and the best
way might be to spend *more* money. ;-)
There are some good deals on GeForce4 MX cards on newegg.com... has
anyone had good experience using them with Myth? What seems to be the
best/most stable/good quality card to use?
