Thanks, it's nice to have another data point. Wish I had another option; unfortunately my TV only has composite in, so it's either a new TV or an expensive scan converter, and I don't have the budget for either right now. I'm sending my card with the NV17 chip in for RMA; maybe I'll be able to use that again someday. -JAC _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
