Someone else suggested an nv8400 these are cheap and adequate to<br>
the purpose. My first VDPAU card was an nv8400. My current Myth boxes<br>
run a variety of GPUs including nv9400, nv218 & nv430. These all handle<br>
BluRays and HD-PVR recordings quite well.<br></blockquote><div><br>The difficulty is possibly in finding a card that will interface with a non VGA/DVI/HDMI television. That's why I suggested an 8400, I am pretty sure that many of them have at least a s-video, which is easily converted to composite, which is pretty universal.<br>
