I'm wanting to start a HTPC project, maybe linux as the OS if its not too difficult getting the drivers to work. Whats the best form of tv-out?
In my experiences I have used a ATI radeo 9800pro with s-video out, used a s-video cable to my tv. Results looked pretty bad. I even tryed it using S-video to RCA, results were the same. (Maybe I am doing something wrong here) . Another thing is that its just the color thats off, when I switch to black and white its very clear, just not with color.
I have a Hauppauge PVR-350, supposed to have tv-out, but I believe you can only use it for tv, not for the OS as such, so running media centre out through it is not possible (so I assume).
My parents have taken the tv now and I'm considering buying a VGA > RCA converter at DSE. Is it worth it and what is the quality like?
