Pretty much.  I'm trying to minimize the amount of space my system takes up in
my bedroom, so I don't want an extra tower there just for the TV card.  I'd
rather not have the extra monitor too and just export the display to my main
monitor, but if I have to, I can use an old 14" and stick it somewhere.
