|   If you aren't using HDTV, then some onboard do have SVIDEO
| or composite, although most do not, so that won't work well at all.
| Many add in graphics cards do have such support.

Analogue video support ("TV out") doesn't seem to be available in newer 
cards.  I presume that this is because analogue video devices are being 
phased out expecially in the US.  You cannot buy an analogue-only TV; VCRs 
are considered a joke; camcoders are digital (even if some can do analogue 
out).

The AMD chips in AMD 5xxx cards are not able to do analogue.  I don't
remember whether the previous generation, the 4xxx could (I think not).

nVidia is probably similar.
