Re: [mythtv-users] Encoder/Decoder cards
I thought only the 350 had TV out. And the 150/500 has hardware encoding, but not decoding. If I use a 500 or 150, then I'll still need to find a way to connect the TV...Is there an inexpensive way to do that? -t- On Sep 6, 2005, at 10:53 AM, Ali Asad Lotia wrote: The PVR 150 is apparently a pretty decent card.

Use an S-vid-RCA converter and a stereo mini-to-RCA cable for audio. Either run these direct to the aux-ins of your TV, or send them into an old VCR and then to the TV through coax. Any nvidia card gf2mmx or higher can support this. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

For best picture quality, I'd recommend using a direct S-Video connection to the TV (or video and a S-Vid connection from VCR to TV) from a PVR-350. However, my experience using my Pundit-R with TV-Out is that the quality is really quite good (using at moment until I try out the vastly improved XV support on my 350) and that's integrated video. Users with Geforce MXs tend to report the same results when using those cards with TV-out.

I have been using the Hauppauge PVR 350 with good success, but for my next system I am looking to build cheaper. Is there any other card with an Encoder/Decoder built-in that is cheaper?
