I've got an Acer Aspire Revo set up as a MythTV Frontend using HDMI
output to my TV.  Works great.  I set it up a couple years ago and
haven't touched it.  IIRC I did use VGA at first to do the initial
installation, then once I got the NVidia driver working I switched over
to HDMI and it's all been great, audio and all!

Target TV is a Samsung.
