Yep.  I use the DVI daughter card.  Though, HDTV doesn't work in
MythTV with the Via-capable chipsets ( but it does in Xine) so at
least until that gets worked out, no HD...

FYI, you don't need the 1.0.8, the 1.0.7 works fine.

Other than that, I really like the DVI option, using my projector it
gives a much 'crisper' image.
