Its standard def (no high def), its svideo only (no VGA), its interlaced
(no progressive scan), its expensive (compared to a $50 nvidia card & a
PVR150), it runs hot (compared to an Epia card that has svideo out),
problems with OSD in MythTV, no 3D acceleration for fancy visualisation
(eg GOOM)... and so the list goes on.

Great card 3-4 years ago but the rest of the world has caught up and
overtaken it somewhat.
