[mythtv-users] Video Card Usage

[Timothy M. Admire]

OK.  I have an NVIDIA card that is a few years old that was a nice card and has svideo out... Would it be better to use that?  I need to keep the load off the CPU as it is only 600mhz...

Note that support for video output via the PVR-350 is slated to go away at 
some point. Thus, although this solution will work in the short term, it 
might not be wise to plan on using this configuration for the long term.
