Hi,<br><br>I have a PVR-350 and haven't had much success in getting the X driver to work,<br>so I haven't been able to play video files on the television. I think I heard<br>in a previous post that the MythTV developers aren't intending to support the
<br>PVR-350's tv-out for long, so I guess I am in the market for a new video card<br>that can handle the s-video output. Ideally, I would like to get:<br><br> - A relatively cheap card (I don't play 3d games, but it should be fast
<br> enough to run MythTV on the television while I work in emacs on my<br> monitor.)<br><br> - A PCI Express card (it's my only free slot) with a DVI connection to the<br> monitor and an S-video connection to the television
<br><br> - A card that works well with X-windows and makes it relatively easy to set<br> up the dual headed display between the monitor and the tv.<br><br></blockquote></div><br>Get a nVidia based card. Their drivers are by far the best. I would suggest a model but there are several hundred different models since nVidia does not make cards only chips and 20+ manufacturers make cards with the same chips..
<br><br>Here is a link at newegg for the 197 nVidia PCI-E cards:<br><br><a href="http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.asp?Submit=ENE&N=2010380048+0+1069609641&Subcategory=48&description=nvidia&Ntk=all&srchInDesc=">
