[mythtv-users] [OT] 1080i

[Vincent K. Britton]

I have a PCIx 6600gt with the HDTV out on my windows box and it works
great.

I haven't tried it with linux yet though as when you look a the windows
driver on the Nvidia site you will see "Added support for using HDTV
over DVI connectors"  But there is no such mention on the Linux Driver. 

I have posted this question on the Nvidia forums but have yet to receive
a response.  I bumped it today so maybe I'll have better responses.

Vince

If you're looking to do component video to an HDTV, definitely get the
6600 
package, it doesn't look like that 6200 came with the necessary YPbPr
output 
thingy.

For the record, my AGP 6200 did come with the YPbPr output thing. :-)
