So does mine, but it would be nice to know that that initialization is correct =) > I think they assume that you have a TV when you're using a DVD player, > and they assume you're using a monitor when you use a video card.

I think they do assume that you have a TV when you buy these cards. Unfortunately they also assume that you'll use it under Windows or Mac, where they have tuned the drivers to give out a nice TV signal... :) Would it be possible to activate TV-out in f.x. WinDVD and then read the cards settings? / Niklas ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.
