Help with PCI Video Card...

I need help choosing the best PCI card available for my HTPC. I do have a HD ready TV that has component inputs, but I would be willing to use S-Video if I have too.

It looks like with PCI I might have to use S-Video... but can someone recommend a card?

I am still deciding between SageTV w/MVP or MCE 2005 w/ Extenders.

Thanks in advance.

why not consider a hardware decoder like the X card if you are limited to svideo from a pci video card
no pci video will be that great and without the option for using component
you will be limited to svideo
SageTV can 2d video rendering but the 3d rendering of VMR9 looks much better
MCE does not support the X card at all
and SageTV does support it but with no OSD
GB PVR is free and works with the X card and has MVP clients as well
this maybe an option
I encourage you to check this out
the X card can do HDTV output via component
