Does that mean I don't need a video card at all when using PVR-350, assuming I'm planning to build a dedicated Myth box connected only to the TV.  Just want to confirm that I can use the PVR 350 to use the TV as my monitor for Myth as well as the usual linux apps.  Thx.

The PVR-350 has a great tvout ( comes with scart lead) X also works ok on
it(the tvout) it is fine for the menu and gui. I havent tried DVD playing
and didnt use it as a main computer. I have a PAL (UK) card for sale if you
want it, went digital and dont need an analog card anymore.
