Yes, I am sorry to say that I have an old Yamaha AV amp that does not
have any new fangled HDMI inputs. It does have SPDIF audio inputs so a
m'board that supports digital audio out would be just fine.<br>

<pre wrap="">Hello,
I would like to ask for any recommendations for a mini-ITX
motherboard suitable to be used as a MythTV frontend, likely running
Ubuntu. I will need to have an S-Video output to connect to my AV
Amplifier, but other than that, I have no particular requirements. I
have found some old threads on the very same topic, but on the basis
that new motherboards are released all the time, I hope that you will
not object to my revisiting it.
Regards,
Ian.

style="color: black; background-color: rgb(170, 170, 255);">ITX</b> boards discussed on
the list recently. Mostly because they have the integrated 9400M GPU
that supports VDPAU and low power Atom CPU. So you can playback HD
with a small, cheap, silent, low-power frontend. However, they don't
have S-Video outputs. Just curious did you really mean S-Video (ie you
are running your video through your AV amplifier) or did you mean to
say SPDIF to your amplifier for the audio. I only ask because the
Zotac boards do have SPDIF out. So you can hook your TV up with VGA,
DVI, or HDMI and run only the audio to the amplifier. </font></font></pre>
