first, still no 100% foolprog scart breakoutbox has been publiched/is
buyable somewhere, so i consider that a geek solution(i have not tried 
it, paying 200-250€ if i make a little mistake is far too much).
so its a no-solution for most of us and all of the simle users.

luck, no double luck, matrox even passes the pal test "c't" did
on several gfx tv-out, only few (mostly older) card do actually
output "pal" as defined in the standards, so most GFX don't even have a 
PAL/TV output, it's only close to beeing able to display something on tv.

allows you to buy a cheap PC + DXR3 .....

thats an own goal, i have no fan on my gfx (you will allways get
GFX models mithout fans, companys need them too), whilst a _lot_
of dvb users try to protect their 250€ invest and mount (very loud and 
unspecialised) fans to cool the DVB, i have 2 one fron an powersupply
and another from a scsi-server drivebay for my dvb cards.

thats leads to an old pc with an dxr3 card, or wait for
vdr on dbox2 ...

but all this are just my 2cents
