I don't know; it just doesn't bother me.  I'm happy with my current AGP 
GF4MX card, and I figured it's probably the best TV-out I'm going to 
get without shelling out for a PVR-350 or an expensive VGA scan 
converter.  Also, since I'll have 2 M179's as tuners, I thought I'd 
take advantage of XvMC.
