Thanks for the info Matt! Unfortunately all the inputs are routed through a receiver. Plus the tv is a cheap one without many settings. I've been looking all over for a solution to this, but haven't found anything that will resolve the problem yet. I was hoping awesome could provide a solution, but it looks like that won't be the case either. Oh well, back to X... Thanks for the help though!
