Hi, everyone. I am a MythTV newbie that just read the entire site and
everything I could find on this project including all the mailing
list threads. I am a C++/C/Python/Perl coder and am ready to help
develop this project and get it up and running if my help is wanted.

Q: I was wondering if there was a specific TV Tuner card that had to be
   used (the one from Best Buy), or if there is a list that work with
   Xv or something. If there is a list that work with Xv then could
   someone point me in the right direction.

Q: I was also wondering if there was a suggestion for output to TV other
   than Geforce 4 or Geforce 2 or is there a list of TV outs that work
   somewhere?

Q: I was also wondering if there is a specific reason a hardware encoder
   / decoder is not used? (Sorry for the double post Isaac)

					Thanks,
						Andrew
