Thanks. I missed expanding Jarod's How To, so missed that section the first few times. :) That command did clear the lines from the TV display. I was subsequently able to get X running out the PVR-350 output. However, the playback quality is not very good. The picture is over scanning the display some on each edge (cuts off the AM/PM indicator when the time is displayed etc.) During play back the frame rate does not appear to be fast enough to prevent it from appearing a little jerky. And there are times that the picture will freeze briefly during playback. The dd testing had a picture that looked fairly good, not what I would call full quality but better than the result described above. I also was surprised that the sound continued to come out the PC audio ports instead of over the PVR-350 ports. I will check the guide again to see if I missed expanding another section. :) -- Scot L. Harris [EMAIL PROTECTED] Let's organize this thing and take all the fun out of it.
