Out of interest what distro are you using? And have you made sure it's
using the intel driver? Finally, have you considered playing with the
latest Intel releases?
Whilst a GeForce card (between 5xxx and 7xxx series) is probably the
simplest way to go exploring other options (newer drivers, xorg.conf
tweaking and such) with the onboard module might prove less irksome in
the future.
Keep in mind that currently there is little to no hand off between the
GFX and CPU for things like H264 (which might affect you, not sure if
your a MPEG2-HD person) so massive GPU's will tend to sit idle in
MythTV. So a cheap Nvidia card is better compared to a super expensive
one in that respect.
