I suppose I might be interested in DVD playback at some time but I
have a DVD player currently so in the case of my PVR I can't see it
being a requirement.  Is ADAPTIVE DEINTERLACING the only reason you
think a Mach64 is a poor choice?

Funny enough, I do have a Mach64 in my machine currently -- a IIC:

00:0d.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc 3D Rage IIC 215IIC [Mach64 GT IIC] (rev 3a)

It is PCI too.  Stock XFree86 does not support Xvideo on this puppy
but the Gatos drivers do.  I was pleased to see Xvideo working once I
replaced the XFree86 ati drivers with the Gatos ones.

But alas, I don't think there is framebuffer support for it, but more
importantly I cannot find any hint that it supports TV-Out, which I
most definately do need/want.
