I've seen more and more people using things like HD2600's and similar in 
myth setups now.
I was using ATI for two years. I had issues using TV out. But when I 
hooked it to a HD TV I started using DVI->HDMI and had no issues (didn't 
need to have fglrx drivers to get XV working then). All the ATI issues 
for me were always isolated to the annoying inability to change overscan 
in TV out mode. Once using it as a monitor it works as well as my Nvidia 
card (the Nvidia also worked perfectly using TV out). I don't use XVMC 
so that makes any differences between ATI and Nvidia moot for me as far 
as mythtv usage goes.
