 Currently I'm using a Predator MX-440 8x AGP card which has an NV18
TV Encoder and I must say it's great, we honestly cannot see
a difference between what I pull off MythTV and regular cable.

 It's got DVI,S-Video and obviously VGA out. Now all I need
is a new nvidia driver (likely 2 weeks according ot nvnews.net posts)
which supports interlaced tv out, overscan and vsync and I'll be 
even happier than I am now :)
