So i got bored over the weekend and fixed up my old nintendo pc as a htpc this time. Instead this time i want to connect it to my tv using the built in S-video in the motherboard.

its a VIA EPIA-M10000 Mainboard

now ive connected the mobo my tv, and i get pretty bad video on my tv, i have a crt by the way. Ive even tried messing with the resolution, and tweaking the hell out of the built in video. So ive been looking on buying a very small PCI video card with decent tv out that allows me to read not so big text. ati? nvidia? doesnt really bother me here i just need something to watch movies, and read text on my tv.

i need a small video card to fit in this small space

Yeah the TV out on those Epia boards is know to be pretty bad, most would advise against using an Epia for all of it's "limitations."

Either get a Hauppauge PVR 350 or this card depending on what you want to do.

I really hope you're running Linux on that, the XP drivers are terrible.
