I found this site http://www.freeplaytv.org/ which has
recommendations on what to buy:
"By far one of the most expensive components is the VGA to NTSC
converter. Don't even consider using your existing TV-OUT on a Video
card.
The video quality suffers from not having enough overscanning & other
traits."
Can anyone verify this?
I'm using a GeForce 4 MX with extremely good results. That information
from freeplaytv is either out of date, or just plain incorrect. The
binary nvidia driver supports overscanning, as well as a variety of
other tweaks. Nearly everyone involved in the MythTV project uses or
suggests a GF4MX as a very capable TV-Out card, and pretty much always
in favor of a converter.
