I attempted building an HTPC using Mythtv about a year ago and, much to my dissappointment, ended up with a dysfunctional Foxconn board that didn't actually support tv-out like it said it did and at that point Mythtv and PCI-e video cards weren't cooperating so I sent the motherboard and chip back.
<br><br>Now I have a computer all ready to go with no motherboard or chip.<br><br>Looking on newegg, it seems now that my only option is an AM2 board which means I have to buy new memory as well as the motherboard and chip thats missing. Grah.
<br><br>I need 3 PCI slots, plus a video card slot too if the motherboard doesn't support tv-out onboard (which few of them do now except for HD and I need regular tv out instead)<br><br><br>So my question is:<br><br>
Is mythtv/linux playing nicely with TV-out on PCI-E cards now? Otherwise I'm stuck with older model AGP boards which are few and far between.<br><br>Are there any micro-atx boards out there with 3 pci slots that function well with mythtv (onboard video out that works is a major plus)? I need 3 pci slots for my 2 encoders + a wireless card.
