Post subject:  noob question- how do I hook this thing up now that it works

I just got my R5A30.2 brandspankingnew box running.

Knoppmyth R5A30.2
Gigabyte GA-K8NSC-939
Athlon 64 3200+ Venice Core
2 x 512 RAM - Kingston DDR PC2700
Gigabyte GV-N52128DS GeForce FX 5200
Hauppauge PVR-350
Hauppauge PVR-250
Hauppauge PVR-250
Maxtor 300GB IDE ( IDE0 Master )
WD 250GB SATA ( SATA1 Master )
TDK DVD Burner ( IDE0 Slave )

I can see the Myth menus / watch Live TV ONLY if I plug the composite video from my GeForce FX5200.

My 350 (as most 350's I would guess...) has a little rat-tail that I can connect RED & WHITE audio into my TV, and the SVIDEO to plug into my TV. If I hook it up this way (with no other audio / video) cables hooked into my computer, I only get a black screen - on any of the "input" settings on my TV.

However, if I plug in the composite video from my GeForce FX 5200, I can see video / menus / watch live tv (with no sound, unless I plug in the little adapter and plug in my RED & WHITE audio cables.

I want to watch Live TV / navigate MythTV through the 350, obviously.

I guess my question is how do I tell mythtv which card I watch live tv with?

If I change the order of the cards in the PCI slots, and reinstall, will it work? I'd rather not reinstall (again!).

Any insight would be very much appreciated.

Thanks,
Andy
