Hello all,

I've spend over 4 hours trying to get my ATI 128 Pro to do TV Out under X... I lost an old 13" monitor in the process, and based on what i've seen thus far (via google) it's pretty much not possible... Unless you have some advise? (-;

http://gatos.sourceforge.net/ was my hope, but doesn't seem to work for the 128 pro

My question is, what would be the best low cost card to get? I see NVidea is most commonly used? but what I see here; http://www.khensu.org/unlocked/tvout.html it seems there must be a better option?

Are the WinTV 250 / 350 worth making the upgrade (high cost) for the added MPEG2 abilities?

3d performance is really a non issue, I don't see myself playing anything other than Mame games on this system (-;

I only have a Sony Wega with i480 capabilites (no HTDV). I currently have a ATI TV Wounder & and a Pinnacle PCTV Pro which I've been planning on using as the input devices.

To bad Showshifter3 is so buggy..

Thanks for your advise,
Mike

... I guess it would have to be all the way to the PVR 350, as the PVR 250 doesn't have tvout

I'm happy with the TV out on my GeForce 4...

I've always liked Asus. It seems that a Matrox 450 might be the best, but they seem seriously over priced.

what you folks think? http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php? ... /T/N/64M/A

I think it's settled on your advise. As I believe your the fantastic mantainer, it seems matching your hardware configuration would be a good idea!

thanks for your advise and hard work!

Thank you and you're welcome.
