Over the last two or three years I have seen a number of articles praising mythtv or freevo or both. All of the articles mention how great these apps are for recording TV and playing it back. Unfortunately, all of these articles have also assumed that your mythtv/freevo box is attached to a monitor and you've got X configured for it correctly. None of the authors has ever thought that someone might - shock of shocks - attach their mythtv or freevo box to an actual TV using the video card's TV-Out connector.
What I'd like to see is an article on getting X to work on PAL/SECAM/NTSC TVs and then using mythtv or freevo to turn your PC into a PVR. I am tired of authors assuming that I gather the family around the 19" monitor on my computer desk to watch all those great recorded shows. Or, has everyone but me replaced their 30" television with a 20" TFT monitor?

Where's the article on setting up X on a TV?
