I have a hollywood + card in my windowsmachine and have tried some to 
get it rollin on my linuxmachine but in avifiles I get audio sync 
problems after watching some time. And also, sometimes MPEG files locks 
mplayer, im not sure if that is because they are wrongly encoded or 
something.

This whole TVout without X seems rather difficult to get working, i 
should perhaps just buy a VGA to SVIDEO box and run it that way :)

Cheers,
Joel
