I'm cool with doing this, even thought about it. But I want good quality on my TV-out plus I want it to stay cheap. What's a good cheap Nvidia with good TV-out? My goal is to keep my whole implementation under 600 (cause I figure 80 hour TiVo is 300 plus 300 lifetime subscription). So if you figure in the two PVR-150's (found the 150 for 98 bucks, the 150MCE for 76) that leaves 424 dollars to finish the whole thing with. Anyone have good suggestions? -John. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chad Sent: Friday, June 17, 2005 7:16 PM To: Discussion about mythtv Subject: Re: [mythtv-users] Best option for dual tuner with tv-out?

So my personal preference would be to not put all my eggs in one basket. This would mean that at very least, I'd get a PVR-500 and a seperate videocard. However, I'd take it a step further as cost is close to the same (assuming PCI's are available for all this) and use 2 PVR-150's and a decent non-fann'd Nvidia with DVI and Svid out. :) It's all personal preference with your question though. If your question is, will it work, probably. But I just finished reading a thread about issues with the 350's TV out that are not completely resolved, so I'd avoid it if you can.
