get a nice inexpensive geforce 4 mx card, it will do all you need plus it allows for overscan to get rid of black borders

The geforce 4 mx won't do adaptive deinterlace with the nvidia codec - get a Geforce FX they start from a very low price.

just bought an GEForce MX440 for 26 bucks on ebay. So if money is an issues.. this would work pretty economically

yeah you only need a higherend gf-fx card if you want to primarily watch tv on your computer monitor, because the mpeg files the pvr puts out are interlaced, and if you want to watch them on a monitor you will need adaptive interlacing, although you can watch them in media player/powerdvd without any interlacing with the proper dvdplayback software.

Thanks for all your suggestions.

Maby I should tell that I only are having my 52" TV connected to this computer, I'm not using a regular computer screen here. So it's important that the TV-out is good.
