[linux-dvb] DVB-S Rev1.5 RGB out nightmare

[Michal Dobrzynski]

Si it looks like I may have made a very expensive mistake ordering a 
card from overseas. I've followed the diagram at 
http://www2.arnes.si/%7Emthale1/rgb.html to create a cable to connect 
the card via J2 to my TV and the best I have been able to get is a 
garbled, scrolling mass of junk (only barely recognizable as the TV 
image) if and only if I set the TV input to VHS , SVHS or automatic 
VHS/SVHS.

If I set the input to RGB or any other setting I get "No Signal". The 
composite TV out and audio out on the back of the card work fine 
(though the image quality is terrible when even compared to the SVideo 
out of my DXR3's). I do not have the Composite connected to the back of 
the card when I try to get RGB out via J2. Incidentally I also seem to 
get no analogue audio out of J2 when the wires are connected as 
instructed.

I've inspected the cable dozens of times and tested it with a 
multi-meter to make sure signals are going where they should. and that 
there is no leakage I have tried with both a 47ohm and a 100ohm 
resistor. My TV is a Loewe Credo with which I use a Loewe RGB capable 
DVD player and RGB out from a Matrox G550. The input which I am 
connecting J2 to definitely supports RGB and I know how to configure 
the TV to accept an RGB signal.

Can anyone help me in any way? Even if it's just providing alternative 
(even if they are identical) J2 to RGB schematics. I'm desperate.

Regards,
Michal
P.S. Because I know there is a risk of damaging the TV out component of 
the card and I do not know the procedure to connect things safely I go 
out o my way to avoid problems. I shut down the computer and turn the 
TV off  and then unplug both from their power-points before I connect 
or disconnect cables to the card at the J2 end or the TV end. Just in 
case,
