If you don't mind running a Micro ATX board instead of a mini-ITX board, the MSI K8NGM2-FID is an<strong></strong> Athlon 64 socket 939 board with a built-in NVIDIA Geforce 6150 with VGA, DVI, S-video, and Component outputs, plus a SPDIF out connector on the motherboard:
<br><br><a href="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813130529">http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813130529</a><br><br>With an A643000+ Venice chip (which is more than capable enough to play 1080i), it's under $200, and all you need is memory and a case, and a SPDIF connector...
<br><br>I have not personally used a Geforce 6150 board, although I've heard that the Linux drivers are finally working OK for the graphics and the chipset (although I haven't heard specificly about 1080i component output). I'm currently running an older, slower AGP socket 754 board with the K8M800 Via chipset, a Newcastle A643000+, and a Geforce FX5200 card as a combined backend/frontend, and I can watch 1080i recordings deinterlaced to 1600x1200 with no problems and CPU at ~75% without XVMC, and at ~55% with XVMC.
<br><br>If you can use VGA or don't mind using an outboard VGA to component convertor, there are tons of Micro-ATX socket 754 boards to choose from, and almost any socket 754 Sempron processor should be able to decode 1080i HDTV...
<br><br>I also have a Commell LV-667T with component out which did work in the one 1080i XVMC Xine playback test I did with EPIOS, but I haven't had time to get it running with MythTV yet.<br><br>-Gregor<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">
