If it were me looking to see if it worked, I would put the output (Y in particular) on an oscilloscope and see if it's got signal and sync.

Recently, I purchased a Toshiba 46H84 HDTV (which, according to the manual, supports 480i, 480p, 720p, and 1080i). Now, naturally, I want to get MythTV to work through my VGA port using a Audio Authority 9A60 box.
However, I am not having any success with it. Here are some more details: I am have the Chaintech 7NIf2 motherboard, which has a nVidia GeForce4 MX440 onboard. The MB has a VGA and a SVIDEO output on the back. Up to now, I have been using the SVIDEO output but now both are connected - the VGA because I am working on it, and the SVIDEO because the VGA currently does not work.
The VGA port is connected to the Audio Authority box and the box is connected to the component input of the TV.
As a start, I tried using xorg.conf-HD.txt from Jarod's guide but that did not work, so I started searching the archives and the web for clues and help.
I found numerous modelines that seemed to be right or that worked for people with similar TVs but none of the work for me. The result is that the TV shows nothing but a black screen. There isn't anything displayed even during the BIOS.
I tied some of the modelines on a PC monitor and they worked fine from what I can tell but I am aware that PC monitor are much more forgiving.
Now, I bought the Audio Authority box on eBay and I am not entirely sure that it actually work. Is there any way that I make sure that the box is sending any signal to the TV?
I would appreciate any help that you guys might be able to offer!! I have a pcHDTV3000 on the way and I would really like to be able to make use of it!!!
Thanx in advance.
