I'd be *very* curious to hear how the PCX 5300 turns out in a HDTV
environment. I too have a 6200 TC PCI Express card (but, alas, can't
take it back) and, although the 1920x1080 picture is actually 95%
acceptable, it'd be nice to be able to reliably and cheaply eliminate
the tearing issue I've talked about here previously and which Brandon
Beattie talks about at
<URL:http://www.linuxis.us/linux/media/howto/linux-htpc/video.html>.

Not having had the benefit of using MythTV with another video card or
with HDTV I probably don't know the difference, but hey, if I can get
better colors by moving downstream, I'm up for it.
