Don't let recent discussions scare you off. It's not as bad as it seems. >I'm looking for a easy, (i.e. hardware I can find with out >going used/ebay) TV out solution. Easy - nVidia and FC2. I have three machines all running FC2. Just built my third one last night. It gets easier. Now if I could figure out the netboot with Fedora, I'd be quite happy. >The output will need to be composite, aka RCA, NOT dvi/svid >etc... I will be plugging the output into my Avcast network. FX5200 with passive (no fan) cooling or some huge heatsink. I can't hear my frontend during very quiet passages and I'm using svideo on one and RCA out on the other. There is a noticable difference between them, but not something about 99% of my friends/relatives woul dnotice. I'm guessing that the difference between svideo and component video would be a little better, but the difference between RCA and component is much more noticable. >I would also like to be able to have both TV Out and X running >on the console,. Not sure about that. Although because MythTV is pretty much an application that runs under X, you can have Myth running in a window and have full access to all the X apps you like. My wife has gotten quite used to running myth in a window while she is making up tests for her class or surfing the web. >I plan to be running Fedora(1, 2 or 3) and Myth 17 (I'm >waiting until it comes out) I'd do FC3. I'm just waiting for a few brave souls to push ahead and report back from the front lines about the experience. >Thanks, Michael... Good luck, and keep us posted. Paul
