Building a PVR

I'm putting together a Media center PC/Mod/PVR (I'm building a pc into a DVD player) my question is this, I run a Composite system, I'm going to use a hodgepodge (I know thats not the name) PCI PVR, what I need to know is about the video card, any good tips on which one to use? I want a clean picture out to my TV through composite cable. I'm worried about setting this up because I've used a cheap video card before with an svideo to composite adapter and the picture is very fuzzy and text is unreadable. So please straighten me out.

 

It can be tough making text readable on a TV IMO the quality of your TV plays a big factor,I can only speak for nvidia cards you can use the text filter and image blur to help clean up the text a little included in the forceware drivers,increasing font and icon size also helps alot,can be a pain when using different programs though

On the cheap 32" crt I was using browsing the internet was silly in 640X480 which is why I gave up,movies played great looked just as good as DVD player though and why not
