James, thanks for the correction. That said,
<URL:http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Configuring_HDTV> mentions
ATI only briefly. We list readers know that that XvMC is a
temperamental beast at best, but surely it does not help
MythTV-on-ATI's case that
<URL:http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/XvMC>'s sole mention of ATI
is as part of a two-sentence dismissal!

I am quite curious to hear others' reports; just how *does* HDTV from
a Radeon 9600 compare to that from an Nvidia 5200 that is not using
XvMC? Better? Worse? The same?
