PC jukebox needs tv out card recommendation

Hi,

I've been building myself a small form factor PC to sit in my HI-Fi unit and run iTunes so I can have all my music as MP3. I bought a cheap radeon AGP video card with a TV-OUT (svideo) connection and have a cable running from the sVideo to a regular phono (yellow) socket which then connects into a scart adapter (scart socket with 3 phono connections on the back, 2 audio, 1 video). It all works fine but the picture is a bit rubbish and reading text is difficult. I have the resolution of the card set to 800X600 (the smallest it goes) but it still doesn't look great.

Can anyone tell me what I can do to get a crisp picture? Are there any cards that do this?

All help, greatly appreciated.

Cheers
Julian

Julian, try changing your video drivers... there may be some new ones out there or some that are optimised for PAL output.
