Greetings,
I've been looking, real hard, at putting together my own MythTV system and I have a question I
can't find an answer to. I am looking at buying a
http://www.overclock.co.uk/customer/product.php?productid=18268
because it's small, fast, and quiet. Besides a tv-tuner card it also needs a
graphics card,
preferably with tv-out. What I'd really like to be able to do is: Insert the
wire from my tv into
the tv-out of the graphics card and use my tv as a monitor during setup, and
for any other reason.
This way I wouldn't ever need to put a monitor on it to see what is wrong with
it or spend time
going back and forth between tv and monitor during setup. I would just be able
to get a console on
my tv, and their should of course also be a boot sequence visible on the
screen. Of course I also
want a graphics card with good tv-out. Does anyone know if this is possible, or
am I just
dreaming?
Regards,
Martin

As long as your distro does not use X for the graphical install, or you
forgo the grapical install, you should be ok with an nVidia card with
tv-out. I've used several different cards and the all worked fine on
tv-out until you try to start X, that's when things get tricky (well,
you need the right settings at least).
