Yes I know ;) I'm studying this list for a ehile now, read a lot on 
linuxtv.org and so on. But here in Germany there is no way to get such Matrox 
card (G200 or 400)  There are only the new ones, mainly the parelia ( for 
round abiout 450-500 Eur i think) So I said :

Here in Germany:
 XPert 2000 Pro OEM (Retail, TV-Out)   32 MB SDRAM   
		Rage 128 Pro   AGP   42.00 EUR   

  XPert 2000 Ultra OEM  (Bulk, TV-Out)   32 MB SDRAM   
		Rage 128   AGP   44.00 EUR   

Maybe there is any way to get a 8/16MB card cheaper than that. An for this 
purpose , you don't need 3D or other big things, only an acceptable tv-out.
Hope vdr support such card as primary display soon (hopefully over 
framebuffer, directfb or such things.

Hope I'm not totally wrong with my advices ...
