Is there a TV-out card that isn't a graphics card?

[IBdaMac]

I think I just busted the TV-out on my 9700 pro so instead of getting it repaired (which I don't think I can do for free), I was wondering
if anyone knows of a card that isn't a graphics card, goes in a pci slot and will display my desktop on my tv? If anyone knows of one, please
tell me because I can't find one. Thanks.

And that would work how? How should a card that doesn't generate an image to start with feed one onto TV?

how did u bust it? if its only the tv-out that is non-functional... i would ebay it... then buy a new 9700pro.

My MyHD HDTV PCI card will do that. As a bonus you get 2) ATSC/NTSC tuners, a remote and display support up to 1080i.

Leadtek makes a decent TV tuner card.

DVD decoder cards have this functionality. I want a wireless TV out solution would be nice then I could put my pc anywhere and watch DVDs. Bluetooth TV out ? I dont know of any such products out but maybe I can invent my own! HAHA!

All those cards merely output THEIR OWN picture (the decoded DVD or TV stream), not the computer's desktop on the graphics card.

If you're refering to the MyHD, you are incorrect. It is capable of both.

Doh, you are right. I should have read the initial post more carefully.
