[mythtv-users] GeForce 4 and MythTv Frontend

[Stephen Tait]

I don't know about GF4's, but my cheap-as-chips GeForceFX MX4000 (cost me 
about £40 sterling brand new, and I could have got it much cheaper online) 
does all of the MPEG2 decoding - watching, recording and doing live TV all 
use practically no CPU. Be warned though that if you turn on the 
deinterlacing filter (I'm displaying this on a 19" monitor, hence 
interlacing sticks out like a sore thumb) it will use a fair amount of CPU.
