I am looking for something I can hook up to my TV. Kind of like a DIY
tivo, but I want to do more than that.  Like play some games and such. 
I have a wireless mouse and keyboard and have been doing this on an old
card, but can only get black and white and have to reboot to switch from
monitor to svideo and back.

Dual headed would be best, so I don't have to change the resolution of
the monitor and can have the proper resolution for the svideo connection
to the TV.
