Shawn,
I have the same TV - love it.
BTW - how do you watch 1080i content on the TV? Do you drive the tv at 1280x720p and do de-interlacing on the MythTV box? Do you have interlacing issues?
I actually don't have any 1080i content to watch (yet -- I'm sure that

Be wary of the newer 128-bit 5200 cards, I think many of those have

My Asus 128MB 5200 doesn't have a fan. It cost $50 at tigerdirect.com.
I'm a little woried about it, though. Its very small heat sink is

I agree. i don't think it's so much the optimizations as it is the

I have kids and a brand-new 50 DLP HDTV, which has a bulb that will

have a tendency to leave the TV on, wasting electricity and reducing the

A slower cooler CPU would have probably been a better choice.
You can still fix that. Just underclock the CPU down to, say, 1600XP,
then turn the voltage down as far as you can without losing stability.
Lowering the clock speed helps quite a bit with temperature, and it

No, this is not rightly something that media companies should be
allowed to prevent. Under current law, they CAN'T prevent it. It is
perfectly legal of you to lend a copy of a movie/TV show to a friend
to borrow and watch.
Unfortunately, it's not clear that this is true.

Since a copy has to be transfixed to a medium to receive copyright,
how exactly does broadcasting qualify? This isn't an attack against

The show gets copyright protection when it is first fixed in tangible
medium by the production team.

If not, I suppose I can just use dvdrip and then throw the AVIs in the

the myth interface and also get the benefit of a couple of additional

Yes, it works with the vendor-provided drivers under Windows 2000.
Mostly works, anyway. The surround speakers don't seem to be used properly.
Any ideas

Yep. Luckily, 200GB drives are ~$100 (just bought one for $80), and
