Does this mean that I could use one of the $249 boards to power my Sony TV that I now have attached to my MDD G4 Power Mac. At the current time I have a 30" Apple display attached to the DL section of a Mac PC ATI 9600 video card. The Sony HDMI in TV which I use to display information for my customers will only work in the SL part of the 9600, making it the default display. I then attach my Apple 23" display to an ATI PCI 7300 video card. I have an old 15" ViewSonic VGA only LCD display that I connect to the VGA port.
My Intel Mac Pro is to be here by Sep. 12. It has one ATI x1900 video card in it. I wanted to use that card to run my current 30" & 23" displays. Does anyone know of any video card that would work properly with my new system? I also have a Magma PCI expansion buss setup that I am to get a PCIexpress to PCI adapter card for shortly. The only problem here is that they say that only cards that have Universal Drivers written for them will work in this system. I won't think that many of my many board makers would be quick to serve this market as it seems like it would be very small.
On the other havd with this card if it would only display 1080i, it would then seem unable to display to a 1920 x 1200 dvi display. My Sony TV will only display 1280 x 720 (not 768 or any other advertised number) or 1080i. I'm looking for a reasonably priced 1080p TV, but have found none at the present time that is reasonable in price.

You don't mention a price or size range. But I found that Westinghouse (yes Westinghouse) have a new line of LCD TV with 1080p resolution in size: 37", 42" and 47". The price don't look that bad considering that they are 1080p models.

It's better to record the compressed video from the firewire port.
I can see a need to have a way to record HD content as you can with Standard Def TV on a VHS or DVD. However, since the signal comes in as a compressed digital signal, cable boxes, TVs, etc. should have firewire. Cable boxes should also send the digital signal back out on coax like they do with analog signals so that you could split the signal or send it to another room.
