Another card that I've tried briefly is the PVR350, see http://ivtvdriver.org/ Both cards have a good quality S-Video TV-Out but the DXR3 plugin seemed to work a little better then the PVR350 plugin. My personal experience seems to be that most TV-Out on VGA cards are designed to run best at 60Hz output for the US market. When configured to run in 50Hz PAL, for a UK TV, it seems like the VGA modelines are still clocked at 60Hz with some (poor) down-conversion to 50Hz being done in the TV-Out circuitry. This looks fine on static content but any movement results in juddering or blurring. This is especially noticeable on the scrolling text trackers often present on news programmes. This doesn't appear to be just a pure interlacing problem. I've tried tweaking the 50Hz TV-out of EPIA, NVidia & ATI VGA systems and none of them match the quality of hardware designed for dedicated TV usage, e.g. DXR3, PVR350 (and presumably the FF cards although I've not tried one myself.).
