Thanks for all the information provided in this thread. I purchased an
HVR-1200 capture card and noticed that my nvidia 7200 video card
playing TV1, and TV2 without pausing. However TV3 was a different
story .. frequent pauses - once every 4-5 seconds. I am aware that
8xxx cards onwards support VDPAU. I have a CRT TV that supports 1080i
on its component inputs. I do see the difference in picture quality on
the component input between a DVB-S and DVB-T recording/livetv. I am
loathed to purchase another TV although they are cheap-as-chips these
days. Picking up a used card or an nvidia 8400GS silent new (for $50)
seems like the answer. The newer cards appear to have dropped support
for component video out in the extensive search I have done.<br>
<br>
Sincerely,<br>
Rama<br>

I have a 8600GT, it has analog component out, it will do advanced 2X
hardware deinterlacing and will work with older m/b's.<br>
Have a look at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/VDPAU">http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/VDPAU</a> and you will see that
the 8400GS will only do<br>

at HD resolution were as the 8600GT will do<br>

It even beats the 9500GT!!<br>
<br>
The only 2 drawbacks I see is -<br>
An extra $20-30 on Trademe.<br>
Some occupy 2 slot widths rather than one.<br>

Just ask if it has a component adapter to plug into the card. The two
Gigabyte boards that I had did.<br>
<br>
I've used both cards, the 8400GS is really not up to it for TV3. You
can readily tell the difference between a good a a low powered
deinterlacer.<br>
Unless the drawbacks above apply I can't understand why you would go
with the 8400GS.<br>
