[mythtv-users] XFX Nvidia HDTV Output?

[Colin Smillie]

Hi,
Has anyone had any success with the XFX Nvida HDTV output?  Not really
clear to me how it works but it looks like the card has a connection
for a component output cable ( in addition to 2 DVI outputs ).  You
can find it for sale on Tigerdirect ( Canadian Site ) here :

Or on the XFX site here:

Not alot of detail beyond the built-in HDTV encoder...

Thanks,

Colin Smillie

I was at Fry's Electronics yesterday and noticed they
have a bunch of GF 6600 GT cards for sale, all priced
about $250.  Most seem to be PCIExpress boards, but
there were a couple of AGP models too.  I was tempted
to buy one just to try, but I'm pretty sure all that
encoding, decoding, scaling, antialiasing hooey is
only for the Windoze driver.  The Linux driver they
supply is pretty darned basic and doesn't do a very
good job of scaling 720 to 1080 -- at least on my GF
5200 FX.  The ABC and FOX football games look pretty
bad because of all the jaggies on near-horizontal
lines.  OTOH the CBS broadcasts at 1080i look fantastic.
