Hi all,

As there has been a lot of discussion on tv-out lately I think it could
be appropriate with a short update.

Looks like the preferred card is THE Matrox G400 dh. The dxr3/hollywood+
gives good picture quality, but consumes unnecessary cpu on non mpeg1/2
material. The sad thing with both these cards is that they are
discontinued products. 

The question is what to go for when buying new cards. I have a ATI
radeon 7000 with tv-out. Works ok by just plugging the tv before
booting, BUT I only got the video under x to work with "vesa". And that
was toooo slooow. So I guess nvidia is the only one currently to support
tv-out drivers.

The problem with nvidia is that there is a great amount of cards beeing
marked as for instance "MX440". Some have external videochips, others
integrated. 

So the actual question is what card to buy, considering only tv-out (and
reasonable price <100Eur)?

thx,
Per
