My MythTV box is currently running with an old Voodoo 4500 I had laying

Yeah, those things don't work too well in my experience.
Now I want to "upgrade" and get a card with tv-out and am looking for
suggestions. I don't want to spend $200 on the latest ATI or nVidia with
17 gigs of ram or something silly. But I still want something reliable.
Anyone want to share their experience with reasonably priced video
cards?
I'm looking for something with a composite interface. Will any of them
work for console (framebuffer) output, or only with X?
Your TV can't handle SVideo? That will look better and be easier to
find.
I've used several inexpensive nvidia-based cards, and they work well.
You should be able to pick one up new for US$35-50. Composite video
output might be hard to find in a new card, though. And beware of
cheap svideo-composite adapters; they give crummy results, too.
All you need is a small cap for conversion. How can some be crummy?
