I've found this card
   
    XFX GeForce® 9400 GT 1024MB DDR2 Standard <#>
    Model Number: PV-T94G-ZAH2
    http://www.xfxforce.com/en-gb/products/graphiccards/9series/9400GT.aspx

I think this will allow me to connect my Standard TV, and it's not too 
expensive (sub £50).

Anyon had any experience with this card and MythTV/Xubuntu?
