[mythtv-users] Multiple Video Card Possible?

[cardboil]

Does that mean I don't need a video card at all when using PVR-350, assuming 
I'm planning to build a dedicated Myth box connected only to the TV. Just 
want to confirm that I can use the PVR 350 to use the TV as my monitor for 
Myth as well as the usual linux apps. Thx.

The PVR-350 has a great tvout ( comes with scart lead) X also works ok on 
it(the tvout) it is fine for the menu and gui. I havent tried DVD playing 
and didnt use it as a main computer. I have a PAL (UK) card for sale if you 
want it, went digital and dont need an analog card anymore.
