For 3D, you are correct, NVidia is the only game in town.  For 2D, you are
full of ****.  As far as clean output goes, you cannot beat Matrox.  They
have been known for this for years, and their newest hardware doesn't change
that.  Their TV out works just fine with overscan etc.  They are much more
willing than NVIDIA or ATI to release their specs, and have been supported
for much longer and with a more complete function set than anybody else.
You just don't need 3D for mythtv, and that is all nvidia has going for it.
