<div>hello all!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>My MythTV system consists in three machines: a backend and two frontends.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The backend is only used as backend.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I'd like to use the backend as a backend/frontend and connect it to my TV through Svideo.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The backend configuration is the following:</div>
<div>- Intel Celeron D 2.53 Ghz</div>
<div>- 512 MB RAM</div>
<div>- 160 GB IDE HDD drive</div>
<div>- Integrated Intel video card (don't remember if it is a 915 or a 950).</div>
<div>- 2 x Hauppauge PVR-150</div>
<div>(I only use it to store SD contend, and my FLAC/OGG/MP3 library)</div>
<div>- MythTV 0.19</div>
<div> </div>
<div>It has enough power to serve the 2 frontends (LiveTV and stored files) and record a show very smoothly, no complains at all.... just SD, no HD where I live.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I think I'd only need an aditional video card with tv-out. My problem is that I don't have a AGP slot, just PCI-Express and standard PCI slots.</div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div>- What do you advise me?</div>
<div>I have heard the Geforce 5200's are very good for it, the problem is that they only come in AGP 8X or old PCI interface without DVI (future-proofing).</div>
<div> </div>
<div>-What card do you advise me now?</div>
<div>I need a cheap PCI-Express Geforce card, just for MythTV (no 3D gaming), with DVI.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I also have problems because there are plenty brands, some of them with problems, like the Mad Dog or Asus Geforce 5200.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks for you help</div>
