Well I was smiling when I typed it, even if that didn't come across... 
No intimidation intended.

Hehe, that's how I got mine, too.  Your milage may vary and who knows it 
might just be that my TV didn't like it, but I found it to be... 
strange.  Kind of like there's grey vertical lines between each scan 
line.  But the composite out works great except for the lack of overscan.

If you end up not using the tuner in it, look for another TV out card. 
The dongle is kind of cumbersome.  I built my Myth box out of spare 
parts initially, but quickly found I loved it enough to start buying 
real parts for it.  Next will be a TV out card.  I bought a case last 
week so that it doesn't need the power supply hanging outside the case 
anymore... lol.
