However the pvr-350 has hardware to encode the signal back to whatever
tv standard you have defined for it. The NV card uses software for this
process, unless you have a on-board hardware encoder for tv out.

I am running a new install, this time FC4 and myth worked the first time.
Unfortunantly, I had to reboot and now myth doesn't function.

all of the svga cards out today produce rgb + hv, ie red green blue and

there are companies that have hardware that will take this format and

Hi All,
I am looking for some general purpose t/s info on mysql.
I've been running myth for about a week now and just recently, the setup,
frontend and backend need to be run as root in order to gain access to the
mysql db. File and directory as well as database permissions appear ok,
however
s video usually has the better signal quality, richer color cleaner image
however cheap cable and long distance will negate the improvement
A simple a/b/comparison should provide the answer.
