Ummm...

(ducks head...) a 46cm TV with a composite-in video socket... from a GeForce 6200.

So I guess that probably doesn't really qualify as 'gorgeous', but it has to be said that the image out of MythTV is quite a bit better than the GNOME desktop behind it. Even at 800x600 on a PAL signal. And definitely better than our otherwise average analogue reception.

Oh and the composite encoder on the 6200 is really very good*. I happen to have an expensive VGA->PAL converter that I plugged in once out of curiosity and I was surprised to see the picture was actually no better.

Is it enough to breathe
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed

Is it enough to die
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be Anything but Ordinary
Please

Thanks.

I'm using the Haupauge 350's out, which is great, but unfortunately MythTV is moving to OpenGL for its OSD, and the Haupauge doesn't support OpenGL. :-/

That sucks...

Wonder if my two Dual 500s will will last much longer.

I haven't updated in a LONG while, so I haven't done any reading.
