I am currently thinking about getting a video card with TV input capability. The two I am looking at are the ATI All-in-wonder 8500 w/ 128mb ddr ram. The other is the nVidia GeForce4 Ti 4200 Personal Cinema.

Basically, I want to be able to do DVR on my PC, play TV shows back on my TV, and not be limited to a TiVo-type box with a monthly fee. What I am concerned about is that I have tried TV-out from a ATI card (ATI Radeon VE 32mb ddr) via S-Video before, and the picture I get on my TV has been far from good. I am wondering if anyone has any experience using either of these cards, particularly in Linux, but also in general, and whether they have gotten good quality going from PC to TV.

Thanks,
Dave
