Here's the thing. I can tell the difference between an SVideo cable and composite.
The pins are not bent at either end of the SVideo cable. Am I correct in thinking that the PVR-350 outputs both Composite and SVideo at the same time (on their respective output plugs) and that there are no settings (modprobe etc) which need to be correct for both to work?

Perhaps what you meant is that the s-vid cable has been damaged and is now only a composite cable. I've seen this happen a number of times.... look at both ends of the s-vid cable and look for bent pins. Nine times out of ten attempting to straighten it will break it, so you're SOL. It generally happens when fumbling with a cable behind the TV. Attempting to get the little sucker in the socket, one twists it slightly and gets three of four pins in their respective sockets. Pushing it on the rest of the way bends the fourth over and kills it. Funny how it always seems to be the chroma that gets bent. Always get B&W video... -Cory -- ************************************************************************* * Cory Papenfuss * * Electrical Engineering candidate Ph.D. graduate student * * Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University * *************************************************************************
